Scarlet Macaws of Belize_ On the Edge of Extinction

Great eye-opening video about the poaching of scarlet macaw chicks in the Chiquibul. Dr. Isabelle from the BWRC and FCD Director Manzanero are interviewed in the mini-documentary. Protect the Chiquibul!

 

'WIth only 150 mating pairs of Scarlet Macaws in Belize, this population of birds is on the edge of extinction. The vigilance of the FCD Rangers protecting these birds and chicks from poachers is the most important job to keep the population from total collapse.'

BWRC and Chiquibul Scarlet Macaws

BWRC and Chiquibul Scarlet Macaws | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Feelgood news of the day.  The BWRC teamed up with Scarlet Six and FCD to go check on the Scarlet Macaws in the Chiquibul Forest.  Dr. Isabelle Pacquet Durand gives a wonderful account of the trip to do some check ups.

 

"Muddy holidays with grey skies in Belize aside... 2013 has been an incredible year!  One blog could not summarize it.  So, as done in many regards during this year, I shall focus on individual, positive activities.  The world seems full of bad news and negativity and I believe this rarely leads to positive outcomes.  I prefer positive news, in order to hopefully inspire more of you to join in and to help one of the many individuals and organizations protecting nature, and wildlife, and ultimately your own existence."
