Vantara Partners With ACTP To Reintroduce 41 Extinct-In-The-Wild Spix’s Macaws In Brazil

Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (GZRRC), an affiliate of Vantara, has partnered with the Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots (ACTP) to spearhead this mission. Yesterday marked a major milestone with the successful transfer of 41 Spix's macaws from ACTP’s breeding centre in Berlin, Germany, to a release centre in Bahia, Brazil.

As part of this global Reintroduction Programme, Vantara is providing expert guidance and critical resources to ACTP, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to restoring this extinct-in-the-wild species to Brazil's Caatinga biome.

This milestone builds on the programme’s earlier successes, including the reintroduction of 20 Spix’s macaws into the wild in 2022, which resulted in the first wild-born chicks in over 20 years—a testament to the programme’s remarkable progress and potential.
