From Loro Parques FaceBook-site :
"
In current times of coronavirus with all the difficulties that travel between countries represents, we remain true to our commitment to conservation and on this occasion we have just transferred two specimens of Lear's Macaw (Anodorhynchus leari) from our ex-situ breeding center in Tenerife to Brazil for their consequent reintroduction into the wild.
It was 14 years ago that the Brazilian Government, recognizing our prominent experience in the matter, trusted us with two couples so that we could help a species that was in serious danger of extinction. Fortunately, we were very successful and we have managed to breed 35 specimens, of which there are now 17 that have returned to their country of origin and the rest continue to live in our facilities (although they remain to belong to the Government of Brasil).
The two specimens that have just arrived in Brazil are safe and sound and we are sure that they have a very promising future."
