Parrot Conservation

One third of the world’s 400 or so species of parrots are threatened with extinction, with many of these perilously close to it. These include some of the most spectacular and iconic bird species on the planet, such as the Hyacinth Macaw from South America, Kakapo from New Zealand and Orange-bellied Parrot from Australia.


Parrot Conservation explores why parrots are endangered and the conservation techniques being used to save them, in the process taking a detailed look at more than 30 parrot species and groups from around the world and what can be learned from our experiences with them.


Author Rosemary Low has been involved in parrot conservation since the 1980s, playing a key role in countless projects. In this book she draws on her own time in the field and these very personal accounts vividly bring to life the problems that parrots are facing and what we can do to help them.
