Parrotwatch works in close partnership with Salba Nos Lora (Save Our Parrot) a non-governmental group on Bonaire. SNL are actively involved conservation efforts to raise awareness of the parrot’s status within the community on Bonaire. Their work involves a variety of approaches from coordinating education campaigns, planting fruit trees and conducting annual lora population counts, through to encouraging law enforcement. Money raised through parrotwatch.org will support the efforts of Salba Nos Lora. 

Parrot research involves collecting all kinds of data from bird observations through to counting trees. Find out more on the project info page. The more data we can collect (with the help of volunteers) the more confidence we can have in our findings, and the better informed future conservation strategies will be for these and other parrots.

Community awareness
Raising community awareness
A part of your support will help cover the subsistence of “volunteer” field researcher assistants. These individuals have each paid several hundred pounds (or dollars!) to get to Bonaire and help the parrots. Additional project personnel on the ground increase our presence on the island helping to raise community awareness a little further, and a greater presence in the field also provides a little extra security for parrot nests.

If parrotwatch is successful then sponsorship money may allow us to explore new areas of important research on Bonaire through the purchase of essential field equipment.

An even bigger ambition for parrotwatch is to set up more nestcam projects with endangered parrot projects to help raise awareness and funds for more species.
