Guaras Rojas en La Moskitia - Terminemos con La Crisis De Los Loros One Earth Conservation 2024-09-23 | Este proyecto de conservación de loros liderado por indígenas ha logrado un éxito frágil, pero asombroso. Arriesgan sus vidas para mantener a sus loros volando libres porque los cazadores furtivos, compradores y vendedores de loros quieren arrebatarles los guacamayos a los pueblos indígenas y venderlos en todo el mundo. Pongamos fin a esto deteniendo la demanda, deteniendo el comercio y no permitiendo que haya más pájaros en jaulas. Puedes sumarte a este esfuerzo global uniéndote a la Alianza Internacional para la Protección de los Loros y registrándote para la Cumbre de Crisis de Loros de octubre de 2024 (allianceforparrots.org/cumbre2024)

Wild Olive-throated parakeets cared by humans and each other One Earth Conservation 2024-07-09 | In May 2024 the Honduran authories brought us many birds - yellow-naped parrots and olive-throated parakeets. These birds had been illegally stolen from their wild nests and families only to suffer harm in the wildilfe trade. At our rescue center in La Moskitia the birds are cared for until they are able to fly and be liberated. These are the parakeets that survived, while others died and we could not save them.
Dying Parrot Chick - Due to Wildlife Trade One Earth Conservation 2024-07-09 | This young yellow-naped parrot chick was confsicated from traffickers who poached this bird from her nest in Honduras.

Releasing a Palm Warbler at the First Unitarian Church of Des Moines One Earth Conservation 2024-04-28 | During the Sunday morning service on April 28, 2024 this little warbler hit the window, startling many of us. We ran outside and picked up the bird and placed them in a box in a quiet warm place until the bird could recover. We then let the bird go here as you see in the video, and they were able to fly to a tree and perch. Often birds die when they hit windows, but can survive. They just need time to recover where they will not be predated or get too cold or hot. The service theme was freedom, and in letting this bird go we too freed ourselves.

Fishing in a Parrot Nest One Earth Conservation 2023-10-19 | We recently developed a technique to gather samples of macaw nest material in cavities too deep to reach with one's hand, and in nest trees that we aren't able to climb. We take a full water bottle and smother it with sticky. tape. We then lower the bottle into the cavity with a long extension pole, and upon removal, hopefully our "fishing expedition" yielded the contents of the cavity, which can tell us what happened to any missing eggs or chicks. This video is our first attempt in a green-and-red macaw nest where the chick was missing. The sticky bottle came up with bone fragments for a macaw, so we know the chick had died. This is sad for the macaw family, but with this information we can see what interventions we might employ to save chicks of the future.

¿Qué es un loro? One Earth Conservation 2023-01-20 | En esta dada durante "Paraguay Parrot Week" (Semana de los Loros), enero de 2022, la Rev. Dra. LoraKim Joyner brinda datos interesantes sobre la biología, ecología, evolución y comportamiento de los loros. También describe cómo lo que es un loro ha sido moldeado por la evolución durante millones de años y definido por los humanos durante miles de años. Estos descendientes de los dinosaurios emplumados se han visto perjudicados por la forma en que los humanos perciben a los loros, sobre todo debido al comercio y el cautiverio de estas aves durante milenios. Al comprenderlos, podemos cuidarlos más, y el Dr. Joyner presenta ideas sobre cómo podríamos hacerlo. Gracias a Dra. Pamela Segovia para hablar sobre los actividades de Semana de los Loros y guiar este presentación. Los dos trabajan con One Earth Conservation in Paraguay, http://www.oneearthconservation.org

Does Conservation Work? Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner in La Moskitia, Honduras One Earth Conservation 2022-11-22 | Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner, as part of the annual macaw population count in La Moskitia, Honduras muses from a hammock whether the conservation efforts here will ever work. This land is contested and some people there, like so many others around the world, would cause harm to others for their own gain, sacrificing the well-being of others, the land, and the wildlife.
