One third of the world’s nearly 400 species of parrots are threatened with
extinction or already close to it. These include some of the most
spectacular and iconic bird species on the planet, such as the Hyacinth
Macaw from South America, the Kakapo from New Zealand and the
Orange-bellied Parrot from Australia. This book takes a detailed look at 30
parrot species and explains why they are endangered and the steps being
taken to conserve them.

Rosemary Low’s passion is parrot conservation, in which she has been involved since the 1980s, visiting more than 20 countries and playing a role in countless projects. She is internationally known as a writer on parrots, having published more than 30 books. She has been curator of the world’s largest parrot collection, at Loro Parque, Tenerife, and today she is a board member of Loro Parque Fundación, the major funding organisation for parrot projects, which donates in excess of US$1million annually.
