Good News For A Change

« on: July 28, 2009, 05:02:11 pm »

This is from th emost recent newsletter from the World Parrot Trust Iwhich we should all make an effort to join)

The Puerto Rican Amazon, a casualty of habitat loss, the wild bird trade, poaching and hurricanes, has been given the unfortunate label of rarest Amazon parrot on earth -- in 1975, a mere 13 adult birds were counted in the Caribbean National Forest.

That number has happily risen so that now between the captive and wild populations the total number of birds is 295. Still a low number, but even a seemingly small improvement in the population of a critically endangered parrot like the Puerto Rican is a significant one, indeed.

“My brother and sister birds, you should praise your Creator and always love him: He gave you feathers for clothes, wings to fly and all other things that you need. It is God who made you noble among all creatures, making your home in thin, pure air. Without sowing or reaping, you receive God’s guidance and protection.”
St. Francis of Assissi
