Bertioga, SP

In cooperation with the technical staff of a farm located in Bertioga, BMATA has done the reintroduction of the orange-winged Amazon (Amazona amazonica) which was previously locally extinct in the area. Groups of these birds were taken to the release areas during several occasions which are now being monitored by the team of workers. This project started in 2007 and monitoring has confirmed that Amazons are breeding with a prospect of becoming residents to the area and possibilitating continuous population growth.

Besides these birds, the farm has received several other species, among them: Scaly-headed Pionus (Pionus maximiliani), Red-breasted toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus), Channel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus), Maroon-bellied conure (Pyrrhura frontalis), Purple-bellied parrot (Triclaria malachitacea), Bare-throated bellbird (Procnias nudicollis), among several others.

The fully recovering of the birds took more than 2 years after that they were released in a protected reserve. The project was structured in a very complex way acclimatizing birds for 50 days and an intensive monitoring for two years. It is one of the few projects of such extent with a threatened species ever made.

It is hoped that this area may become a center of development of an ecotourism awareness and also that Araras Lodge becomes a center for training and research for the reintroduction of several species.

Queimadas, BA

The release of an endemic and threatened species in this region – the Goldfinch (Carduelis yarellii) took place in 2008 with the help of IBAMA-SP, rehabilitation centers located in the Sao Paulo area and conservationists breeders. About 50 individuals were sent to Queimadas in the Bahia state. This release was only possible due the commitment of the landowner since this region has a severe droughts season necessitating supplemental feeding and water for the birds. BMATA sent one of their technical staff to supervise the work and initial monitoring.

From the first group of released birds, in 2007, there is a survival rate of 66% after two years with confirmed breeding success of a few individuals.
