The Macaw Society: 20 Years of Research Explained (2020)

After 20 years of intense research The Macaw Project, directed by Dr. Donald Brightsmith and Gabriela Vigo, is ready for new challenges. They will be continuing the research in Tambopata but also expand to help species in areas where they are truly endangered and help implement direct conservation actions throughout the Americas. All these under a new name ‘The Macaw Society’ or ‘Sociedad Pro Guacamayos’ in Spanish. To celebrate these changes, we made a short video summarising the most important findings of the project from the past two decades.

The Macaw Society: New Beginnings (2020)

The Macaw Society (Sociedad Pro Guacamayos), previously known as the Tambopata Macaw Project, has moved out of the Tambopata Research Center in May 2020. Now, they are shifting gears, adding to their ongoing collaborations in Peru, adopting a much more global perspective, and working to establish new research alliances throughout the Neotropics and worldwide. Become part of their growing parrot conservation family!

Conservation Training in Sri Lanka (2015)

As a scientist, living in a biologically magnificent place has certain responsibilities. You want to protect it, understand its secrets, and to share it with others. That is why we created the International Training Program on Terrestrial and Aquatic Wildlife and Primate Conservation.
