Macaws are some of the most beautiful birds in the world, and among the most threatened. Great Green Macaws are a particular concern to conservationists right now, due to pressures from habitat loss and the pet trade in Central America. As part of its conservation mission, the Indianapolis Zoo has supported the Macaw Recovery Network in Costa Rica.

Thanks to Beth Cate (Of Counsel for Conservation Law Center), a Clinical Associate Professor at the IU O’Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indy Zoo Board Member, CLC is now working with the Macaw Recovery Network on our first international project. CLC has compiled a team of attorneys and researchers from six different countries and four different universities to identify solutions to the challenges facing this amazing species.

This work will span six countries—Costa Rica, Columbia, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama—where the Great Green Macaw is found. We couldn’t be more thrilled to help our partners with this important work. (More on MRN here: https://macawrecoverynetwork.org/)

We are thrilled about this new opportunity to help make a global conservation impact, and also excited to share this tremendous opportunity with the students in the Conservation Law Clinic!
