The World Parrot Trust is a non-profit organization based in Kelowna, British Columbia, focused on conserving parrot species both in the wild and in captivity. Its work encompasses urgent on-the-ground support for wild populations, along with long-term initiatives that involve collaboration with key stakeholders to drive lasting conservation outcomes, including efforts to end the trade in wild-caught parrots through its FlyFree program. In addition to field-based activities, the trust develops and distributes a comprehensive library of resources for parrot caregivers across print, multimedia, and online formats to promote welfare and well-being in companion birds. The organization operates within the non-profit sector dedicated to avian conservation, and its recent activities include initiating monitoring projects for endangered Timneh parrots in Sierra Leone in partnership with West Africa Blue, and forming collaborations with academic and conservation partners on studies related to the scale of the live bird trade.
