The Nonprofit Organization Arroyo Negro and\u00a0Grupo Experiencias Xcaret, signed an agreement to promote the great green macaw breedingin the Biosphere “El Triunfo”, where the species became extinct in the eighties due to habitat\u00a0destruction, hunting and illegal wildlife trafficking.<\/p>\n
The agreement was signed by Rodolfo Raigoza, Grupo Experiencias Xcaret Wildlife Manager\u00a0and Efra\u00edn Orantes Abad\u00eda, representing the Nonprofit Organization Arroyo Negro, where the\u00a0Environmental Management Unit “Peter Walter Grether” is located.<\/p>\n
It is about the first breeding center of this species in Chiapas. It will start with five breeding\u00a0pairs donated by Xcaret Park, where 23 years ago the scarlet macaw breeding program was\u00a0established. Xcaret has also been very successful in breeding the great green macaw (Aramilitaris).<\/p>\n
The natural reserve of the Nonprofit Organization Arroyo Negro is located in the town of La\u00a0Concordia, where 5 spaces will be built for the breeding pairs. The goal is that once the birds\u00a0begin to reproduce, the offspring will start to be reintroduced to the jungle in this natural\u00a0reserve.<\/p>\n
An environmental education program must be established for schools in the communities\u00a0nearby the Biosphere Reserve “El Triunfo”, as well as in other towns close to the area in order\u00a0to raise awareness about the importance of preserving not only the species but its habitat too.<\/p>\n
Although the Nonprofit Organization Arroyo Negro and Experiencias Xcaret are private initiative\u00a0instances, the project is open to the great efforts and involvement of schools, scientific\u00a0research institutions and authorities in order to generate virtuous circles towards conservation.<\/p>\n
We must emphasize that this breeding project is supported by the Secretariat of Environment\u00a0and Natural Resources through the Environmental Management Unit, properly accredited\u00a0before this authority (SEMARNAT- UMA- EX0085 – CHIS \/ 10).<\/p>\n
