2025 Parrot Crisis Summit
Sept 19, 11:30am-4:15pm EDT
Too many parrots suffer in captivity. Wild parrot populations are endangered around the world. Let's stop the global parrot trade. Now.
Join the International Alliance for the Protection of Parrots for a free, virtual summit to connect parrot conservationists, veterinarians, rescue organizations, animal rights and welfare advocates, students and parrot enthusiasts from across the globe to advance the goal of stopping the parrot trade. We aim to curb demand for parrots as pets by highlighting the many harms wrought on animals, people, and ecosystems by both the illegal and legal parrot trade. The 2025 summit will consist of presentations and workshops, providing a platform for connection and collaboration. Register below the agenda.
