According to natives, the great green macaw has dwindled in population ever since many of the large Almendro trees (Wild Almond) were taken for their high quality lumber. Guess what we're doing? Planting Almendro trees, a favorite nesting and dining area for the Great Green Macaw, or Lapa. During certain seasons these majestic parrots can be seen flying in pairs in flocks of twenty or so, across our farm.
