El Oro Parakeet
Pyrrhura ocresi
This extremely rare Parakeet is endemic to Ecuador, and was only officially described in 1988 !
It has a tiny range, and the best place to try and see it is the Buenaventura reserve owned by the Jocotoco Foundation.
This organisation was set up to try to protect some of the critically endangered birds of Ecuador from extinction from habitat loss - and their efforts are undoubtedly helping to prevent imminent problems.
