The plight of parrots in the wild is dire. More than 3/4 of parrot species are approaching critical population levels. Imperiled by illegal wildlife trade, populations, flocks, families and individuals meet a terrible fate from abject cruelty at every step of the smuggling pathway and captivity at the end of the road. The incessant pressure may put a creul ending on the extinction of many species in the wild.

Conservation of wild parrot populations is more important now than at any point in the past, and the urgency increases everyday. These works are targeted to bringing the topic to the fore, and to celebrating the beauty, diversity and deep meaning of parrots wild and free the world round.

The works here include a poster for the 5th IUCN SSC Leadership conference in Abu Dhabi 2024, a celebratory piece for the newly hatched Wild Parrot Specialist Group.
