Project Objectives

Project Pyrrhura will establish the current status and threats of three globally threatened Pyrrhura species in Colombia and elaborate a comprehensive conservation action plan for each species in late 2005 to ensure their future survival.

Aims:
• Searches to determine current distribution and locate population strongholds
• Censuses to estimate and monitor population sizes.
• Intensive fieldwork to determine specific ecological requirements for each species
• Asses habitat preferences and determine current available habitat for each species
• Breeding biology research, and experiment with artificial nest box provision.
• Preliminary conservation activities will focus on local communities at key sites.
• Assess threats and elaborate a detailed conservation action plan for each species.
