years into an umbrella project designed to research and conserve all continental African parrots, including the Poicephalus parrots similar to the Meyer's, the Agapornis lovebirds, Rose-ringed Parakeet and Africa Grey Parrot. The Meyer's Parrot has the widest distribution of any Africa parrot, exceeding that of the Rose-ringed Parakeet and Red-faced Lovebird. We are now planning an African Parrot Expedition for 2010, visiting all of the range states of the Meyer's Parrot and all other African parrots in order to evaluate their current distribution and status. We will be filming and photographing the expedition and maintaining a daily logbook online. Here at the research Centre for African Parrot Conservation, we are uniquely positioned to ensure the species survival in the wild of all African parrots through the derivation of comprehensive conservation plan based on current information. Our current data bases are over 30 years old for most African parrot species! For more information, please e-mail Steve Boyes, the project leader... |
