Who
are we?

At Fundación Loros we are an interdisciplinary group committed to the conservation of biodiversity and the protection of psittacines in Colombia. Located in Villanueva, Bolívar, 35 km from Cartagena, we work closely with the local community to achieve our objectives. We have strategic allies such as CARDIQUE and EPA to improve the rehabilitation of birds and the reforestation of the tropical dry forest in the region. In addition, we raise social awareness about the importance of preserving nature and promote the use of native species in reforestation. Together, we work for a more sustainable and healthy future for birds and their natural habitat.

What
do we do?

Fundación Loros is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of psittacines, including parrots, macaws, parakeets and parrots.
The organization collaborates with CARDIQUE and other government organizations to rehabilitate the animals, working with biologists and veterinarians to assess their suitability for release.
Before releasing an animal, Fundación Loros carries out a veterinary health and behavioral evaluation. In addition, improve the environment of the place where the animal will be released and take into account appropriate climatic and temporal factors, as well as community education. All this with the prior approval of the government authority.
The organization also focuses on reforesting with trees from the tropical dry forest and promoting reproduction through the installation of nests.
In addition, Fundación Loros promotes social awareness about the protection of biodiversity and promotes research studies on the ecology, natural history and conservation of psittacines. For the organization, an animal has only been successfully released if it integrates into the reproductive population and produces offspring.
In summary, the mission of Fundación Loros is to protect and conserve psittacine species through rehabilitation, reforestation and social awareness.

Do you know what
regenerative agriculture is?

It is the use of sustainable agricultural methods that imitate natural processes and restore the vitality of the ecosystem. It focuses on repairing and maintaining soil health, biodiversity and restoring agricultural production systems.
As farmers we attend to the call to conserve the soil for future generations, with the use of regenerative agriculture techniques such as: crop rotation, planting cover crops, the use of natural fertilizers and the integration of livestock in agriculture.

Forest
nursery

At the Loros Foundation we are committed to reforestation with the El Paraíso and Vista Hermosa farms, through forest nurseries.
Forest nurseries are a starting point to reverse the degradation of natural resources and improve the quality of life of the population and the region's species.
Our priority is to reforest with trees such as caracolí, wine palm, ceibas, bucaro, mamón, loquat, mango, among others, that are useful for animals (parrots, parakeets, and macaws), either as a source of food, shelter , or nesting site.
These also fulfill an educational function, helping us to promote the care of species and good reforestation practices.
