The World Parrot Trust (WPT) was founded in 1989 with an ambitious vision: To help save wild parrots from extinction and to ensure that companion parrots live long, healthy and happy lives.
Over the years WPT has grown to become a global force that moves quickly to aid urgent initiatives and support long-term projects. In over two decades of effort the Trust has led or aided conservation and welfare projects in 43 countries for more than 80 species of parrot.
Today WPT is one of the world’s largest member-based parrot conservation and welfare organisations with national branches in ten countries. WPT has brought together global wildlife conservation and welfare specialists to direct and put into action effective programs to protect parrots. Our approach is rooted in science, decades of first hand experience in the field, and a deep knowledge of companion parrot husbandry and care.
We seek a future in which the world’s parrots have the necessary and ongoing protection from human and environmental threats to persist and thrive in the wild, and receive the care they deserve from compassionate caregivers in order to flourish in captivity.
