Vanishing Parakeets
El Oro Parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi) - Buenaventura Reserve, Ecuador
A break from Peru, an old photo from the vault, unfortunately I did not bring my harddrive with newer (and better) images of this species with me to Peru so this one will have to do. The talented Emma Steigerwald & myself just put out an article on Mongabay about this species and an ecological corridor being established for the benefit of the parakeets & other threatened species. The parakeets are endemic to a small portion of Ecuador and extremely endangered, this is the latest step in the effort to keep them from vanishing.
