Conservation WPT has developed numerous actions, including breeding and reintroduction, to help boost wild parrot populations and protect habitat.

Wildlife Trade Actions WPT takes to halt the trade in wild caught parrots include aiding confiscations, rehabilitating and releasing parrots, and working with local governments to enforce anti-poaching laws.

Field Research The Trust supports studies on the ecology of parrot species and what threatens them in the wild to better develop solutions to protect them.

Awareness & Education WPT reaches out to local peoples, governments, and organisations to spread awareness about parrots in the wild and in captivity.
