But the fight isn’t over—illegal logging and climate change still pose significant threats.

Discover how grassroots efforts, scientific collaboration, and international partnerships are helping the thick-billed parrot return to the skies.

Read the full article to explore the inspiring journey of a species on its path to recovery, proving that with dedication, even nature’s rarest treasures can be saved.
