Endangered Philippine cockatoo now numbering about 180 after conservation efforts start working

There is bright hope of increasing the numbers of the endangered Philippine cockatoo.

What a beautiful Cockatoo, so glad to hear the village folk are assisting in this initiative through environmental learning.

Good to hear about protection and not destruction.

I sure hope they succeed. Nice to know that those kind of people are out there too and not just the cockatoo abusers (and the like) of Petco fame.
