    New ( small ) population discovered :) :

    * WE FOUND A NEW POPULATION OF BLUE-THROATED MACAWS
    Blue-throated Macaw Project researchers and the Municipality of Exaltación discovered a wild population of the species in that municipality, after performing research tasks in remote areas of potential host wild populations of the species. A new population composed of a minimum of 10 adult individuals, located in areas of the community of Nuevo Paraíso of Tapao river and a neighboring private property, in the SW area of the Municipal Protected Area of the Great Tectonic Lakes of Exaltation, thus confirming the presence of this species in this protected area declared a year ago.

    Amazing that new research is rewriting what we know about macaw ecology and in the process provide enabling instruments for their future conservation and expansion of the protected area for this species.
