Description
The primary mission of the Indonesian Parrot Project is to conserve and protect the endangered wild cockatoos and parrots of Indonesia, while providing sustainable alternate means of income for local villagers in order to reduce trapping and bolster self- esteem. The Project works with local Indonesian government officials to interdict poaching, and receives parrots confiscated from smugglers, for rehabilitation and sanctuary at their Avian Rescue Center on Seram Island. Ultimately, the goal is to change attitudes of the Indonesian people and those throughout the world, to see these creatures as priceless treasures for all generations, and as intelligent sentient beings.
