To the previous list of 22 we can now add a further eight species from the group of Neotropical parrots as 'new to WPT'. We also add some we had temporarily forgotten; these are Golden-plumed Parakeet, White-necked Parakeet, and Red-faced Parrot (all studied by field biologist Jeremy Flanagan in Ecuador, with funding from WPT), and the African Grey Parrot. Yes, we know this is not an Appendix 1 species, but it could face population crash similar to that of the Carolina Parakeet or Passenger Pigeon.

So let us now add:
Scarlet Macaw
Blue-winged Macaw
Yellow-eared Parrot
Mealy Amazon
Black-billed Amazon
Yellow-billed Amazon
Yellow-headed Amazon
Blue-fronted Amazon

Golden-plumed Parakeet
White-necked Parakeet
Red-faced Parrot

African Grey Parrot

This brings us to 34 species helped during the first ten years of the World Parrot Trust. So if anyone ask you what WPT is doing, you could tell them about that, and suggest they join us so they can add to our ability to save the parrots from extinction.

To close this report I would like to let you know about two additional 'new' projects for the WPT the first is the Golden Conure Guaruba guarouba. The second species is the Citron-crested Cockatoo.
