Proyecto Hapalopsittaca wins BP Conservation award
June 26, 2003 — Filed in: Conservation
Proyecto Hapalopsittaca, a previous BP Conservation Programme Award winner, is one of only two projects to have been granted a follow-up Consolidation Award of US$75,000. Last year the team shot to fame after their dramatic rediscovery of Fuertesi’s Parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertsi) (also known as Indigo-winged Parrot). The second Consolidation Award went to a team carrying out research, education and conservation work in the remote spiny forests of southern and central Madagascar.
