🦜🌿 Happy World Parrot Day to these lovebirds!

Today we’re celebrating the colorful, charismatic parrots that brighten forests around the world — including right here in the United States.

El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S.
National Forest System. It’s home to the iconic Puerto Rican parrot, one of the rarest birds on Earth.

In 1975, the total Puerto Rican parrot population was down to 13 known individuals on the El Yunque, easily qualifying the parrot as one of the most endangered birds in the world.

Through a joint task force approach between the Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, the Puerto Rican parrot population has increased from 13 parrots to
a total island-wide population of approximately 500 individuals. Partnerships
are powerful!
