Monday Memories 💭 Inspirational Tree Climbing

Up in the tree canopy you can feel everything growing. You learn how to see, to see beyond seeing. We’re all living together, we all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree.

En este solsticio de invierno de largas y frias noches, nuestro mejor deseo sale del silencio de nuestros corazones y calienta con ternura los corazones de los que nos acompañan en nuestro viaje por la vida.

It's time to turn on your inner light. Let it shine and illuminate everything in your path wherever you are. Your best christmas gift is to shine like the star of light that you are!

This year’s breeding season continues to bring hope, of the wild nests, 26 became active, with 24 in artificial cavities and 2 in natural tree cavities.

Puerto Rican Amazon Breeding Season 2024 🦜In the Rio Abajo Forest of Puerto Rico, our partners at Proyecto Conservación Cotorra Puertorriqueña de Rio Abajo are working tirelessly to save one of the world’s most Critically Endangered parrots.

This year’s breeding season continues to bring hope, with 46 wild nests and 59 captive nests identified at the Río Abajo site. Of the wild nests, 26 became active, with 24 in artificial cavities and 2 in natural tree cavities.

In the captive population, 34 nests became active, demonstrating the effectiveness of ongoing breeding efforts. The balance between wild and captive populations is essential for ensuring the survival of the Puerto Rican Amazon, a species that once teetered on the brink of extinction.

Pictured here, a proud mother parrot sits watch over her three newly hatched chicks, small, pink, and fluffy bundles of life representing the future of this species. Every chick is a step toward safeguarding the wild population.

It was a full year of hard work at El Yunque National Rainforest after hurricane Maria destroyed the forest. No electricity, limited communications, many miles of trails opened with no shade and countless tree climbs restoring the parrot nesting sites in remote areas of the forest. These album has all our stories.

Arbonautas is working with the US Forest Service in the remote areas of the mountains of El Yunque National Rainforest for the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife initiative focused on keeping the island’s only endemic bird species from extinction. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria we have many challenges: a wrecked forest, lost trails, battered tree platforms and nests plus an entire flock of missing birds.
