WILDLIFE RESEARCH IN THE REMOTE WILDERNESS AREAS OF AFRICA
AfricaSkyBlue Wildlife Research Foundation is a
non-profit organization that endeavours to deliver
high-quality applied wildlife research in wilderness
areas throughout Africa and its associated islands.  
We facilitate research in all sub-Saharan countries and
islands, providing scientific, legal, logistical and
technical support for independent researchers from
universities and conservation NGO's.  To submit
project proposals or get involved in conserving the last
remaining African wilderness areas, e-mail founder,
Steve Boyes, to discuss your options and begin your
journey into the African wilderness.

Our current research focus is the development of a comprehensive action plan for the conservation of African parrots, the halt of
the wild-caught bird trade in Africa, and continued wildlife research and conservation action (e.g. local capacity-building) in the
Okavango Delta, Botswana, towards achieving World Heritage Status for this pristine wetland wilderness.  We are also
developing project ideas in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia, and in northern Mozambique.  Currently we are raising funds for the
Meyer's Parrot Project in the Okavango Delta - the 2009 field season will be dedicated to developing field techniques for the
2010 African Parrot Survey and African parrot conservation.

Pushing back the boundaries of African parrot conservation -
Our primary goal for the next five years is to ensure the species survival of African parrots in the wild through
high-quality empirical data on their ecology, up-to-date records on their population status, and the application of new and
innovative conservation techniques aimed at facilitating an increase in their population levels (e.g. artificial snags and
rural conservation aviaries).
