Scientific Research
Many of our staff, researchers and collaborators are scientists that are regularly asked to participate in and peer review scientific papers for major journals.
The World Parrot Trust places a strong emphasis on science to guide our conservation work. We are involved in all stages of the scientific process by securing funding, designing studies, collecting and analysing data and sharing findings through peer-reviewed scientific papers, conference presentations and the popular press.
