Protectors of the ParrotsThe World Parrot Trust (WPT) is a dynamic international NGO working to protect parrots — one of the most threatened groups of bird on earth. Since 1989, WPT has led conservation and welfare projects in 30 countries for 50 species of parrot, implementing immediate and long-term conservation strategies based on established scientific principles, as well as using effective bird welfare advocacy and conservation education. Worldwide efforts include conducting field research on little known species, supporting the rehabilitation, release and reintroduction of threatened and endangered parrots, discouraging the trade in wild caught parrots, facilitating educational programs locally and worldwide, encouraging the purchase of critical habitat areas; promoting ecotourism, and advocating for better captive parrot care. To achieve these goals the WPT works with local and regional partners including individuals, organizations, landowners, government representatives and indigenous populations.
