The Imperial Amazon Parrot, or Sisserou, is the majestic national bird of Dominica, endemic to the island's old-growth, oceanic rainforest. But following catastrophic Hurricane Maria, the Sisserou's future is hanging by a thread.
There are some recent, hopeful reports that a few of these birds may have survived Dominica's second Category 5 hurricane in 40 years, but to survey for them, there are critical needs that must be met now. Dominica's Forestry, Wildlife and Parks Division-- the oldest in the region, with the longest-running, continuous parrot research program-- is mounting a rapid wildlife assessment to ascertain the status of the Sisserou and other critical species. Access to difficult terrain demands a 4-wheel-drive vehicle (all of Forestry's vehicles were damaged or destroyed in the hurricane) and field operations costs to deploy 4-6 expert Forestry staff into Dominica's high mountains. The rapid assessment will fold into a long-term wildlife monitoring program that will run for many years.
In addition, the national aviary at the Botanical Gardens is badly crippled. All of the aviary birds survived-- including a single, female Sisserou-- but the enclosures are severely damaged and need to be replaced, along with the large flight cages for parrot rehabilitation and long-term care. The aviary is essential, as injured parrots are streaming in, with precious little space to house and care for them.
Capitalizing on their 20+ year partnership with Forestry, the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation is poised to direct 100% of all contributions directly to the parrot recovery effort. They will also submit donations for 1:1 matching under a grant agreement with the Tropical Conservation Institute, a conservation partnership developed with Florida International University.
Please, your generosity can make a world of difference for a species teetering on the edge of extinction. The largest of the Amazons-- the beautiful, iconic flagship species for The Nature Island-- needs your help. Save the Sisserou! (Rarespecies.org)
