YOUR RATING

The focus of the film, the Indonesian Parrot Project (IPP) was founded in 2001 by Dr Stewart Metz and Barbara Bailey with the mission to help to conserve endangered Indonesian cockatoos. Tragically, Dr Metz passed away in 2017, but over the past decades Stewart and Barbara initiated and managed several successful conservation programs that we want to present in the film, such as:
- Protecting one of the rarest and most threatened cockatoos in the world, the Abbotti Cockatoo, of which only 17-22 individuals remained in the wild,
- Initiating the Conversation Awareness and Pride program in Indonesia to teach local communities, especially children, to be proud of their wildlife,
- Providing community economic development, alternative means of sustainable income to villagers through ecotourism programs, among others, to turn local poachers into eco-guides,
- Establishing an avian rescue and rehabilitation centre for confiscated parrots and supporting many release programs back to the wild.
