Make a difference for the future of the Great Green Macaws in Costa Rica

Ara Manzanillo is dedicated to restoring wild populations of macaws in the South Caribbean region of Costa Rica. The project has three components, reintroducing Great Green Macaws into the area by releasing captive born young birds, an assisted nesting program and an outreach and education program. We work in conjunction with MINAE (Costa Rican Ministry of Environment) and dedicate much effort towards the welfare of each individual bird in our care.
Our mission is to ensure the long-term future of macaws in Costa Rica, through restoring these birds to their historic national range, contributing to the scientific community, encouraging the protection of tropical forests, and educating the public to ensure the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations for many years to come.
Ara Manzanillo benefits from much in-kind donations including professional services, land, maintenance labor and is highly regarded as being a very efficient lean operation. The full incorporation of volunteers at all levels means that your contribution will only be used for necessary and critical costs.
Please support our mission by donating.
