Blue-throated Macaws in Bolivia
Native to Bolivia and once thought to be extinct, the Blue-throated Macaw was rediscovered in late 1970s and 80s — a near-victim to the trade in wild-caught birds. Their wild population remains precariously low – just a few hundred are left in the wild. With the generous and timely support of HUGO BOSS – BOSS Orange, essential conservation and field work by the World Parrot Trust can grow in 2011.

Scarlet Macaws
in Honduras
Believed to have been kept as pets by the ancient Mayans over 2000 years ago, the Scarlet Macaw is now regionally extinct in many areas of its range in Central America. With the support of HUGO BOSS – BOSS Orange, the WPT and its partners will develop a release facility at a national park and Mayan heritage site in Copan. Through this successful effort the birds will again fill the skies, as they did during the times of the Mayans.
