Belize Bird Rescue Webinar
A better future for trafficked parrots is possible. Even adult birds who have spent their whole lives in captivity after being victimised by the harmful and illegal pet wildlife trade can be rehabilitated.
Join us to learn how this has already been done in Belize, and how we can translate these lessons to parrot care and rehabilitation in Trinidad and Tobago.
Learn more about the T&T pet wildlife trade.
This trade affects a wide variety of species and causes harms to animal welfare, ecosystems, and public health.
Join us in making the change.
Donating, volunteering, and simply educating yourself on the wildlife trade can have profound impacts.
