Fewer than 2,400 Red-faced Parrots remain in the wild. But there’s still hope for this adorable avian species. 🌄

ABC, Jocotoco, @rainforesttrust.bsky.social, & #ConservaAves recently established a Reserve in southern Ecuador to conserve Red-faced Parrots. ♥️ bit.ly/4i7O2zn. 🪶

Red-faced Parrot

The Red-faced Parrot is a colorful conglomeration of colors, mainly green with red touches on its face, crown, and wings, yellow ear coverts, and dark blue wing and tail feathers.

Rainforests are our most powerful natural climate solution—storing carbon, protecting biodiversity, and buffering us from climate disasters. But we’re losing an acre every three seconds, releasing carbon back into the atmosphere and accelerating global warming.

We cannot stop climate change without saving tropical forests.

#Climatechange isn’t a distant threat. It’s here—polluting our air, creating more intense allergy seasons, triggering floods and mudslides. These daily realities are intrinsically linked to rainforest destruction.

Deadly heatwaves, raging wildfires, and destructive hurricanes are not just predicted—they’re happening now.

The Pando department (state) is a prime target for industrial agriculture that aims to transform biodiverse Amazon rainforest into lucrative cattle pastures and soy farms to feed the cattle—releasing large amounts of #carbon and mirroring the tragedy taking place in Brazil.

Alarmingly, Bolivia had the second-highest rate of primary forest loss in 2023 (after Brazil) of all the Amazon countries, and #deforestation here is increasing.

Unrelenting demand for their meat, considered a delicacy in some Asian countries, and their scales for traditional medicine threatens all eight species of pangolin with extinction.
