However, it took several years of looking for an appropriate area for the establishment of new populations of Guans. The community willingly accepted the reintroduction plan, the release of guans, and the establishment of a WWG population in their land. In a formal inaugural ceremony in March 1999, the community committed, before local departmental and federal authorities, to the protection of the guans in their land. The project's next step will be to increase the number of guans in the release cage and to prepare the birds for release. An initial problem concerning the birds chosen for release is that they are rather tame and have not been exposed to potential predators in the wild.
Help is needed .
The administration of the breeding and release program is seeking individuals interested in helping with techniques commonly used to prepare birds for release. The program is willing to provide logistics to interested individuals. Back to top Neotropical Journeys Inc. We welcome your comments on possible improvements of our website and services.
