TAKE ACTION FOR SWIFT PARROTS
Critically Endangered Swift parrots are the fastest parrot on Earth.
They only breed in Tasmania’s native forests. They are at severe risk of extinction as logging in their breeding habitat continues.
In 2015 the IUCN listed the Swift parrot as critically endangered and recommended that all public lands that support Swift parrots be protected.

Prime Minister Albanese & Tasmanian Premier Rockliff need to declare secure,permanent protection across all Swift parrot habitat in Tasmania; in the southern forests, on Bruny Island and the east coast.
If logging does not stop in Swift parrot breeding and foraging habitat today, the species will go extinct.
The critically endangered Swift parrot will not survive further destruction of their forest habitat unless secure protection in conservation reserves occurs.

“The Australian government has promised that it will prevent any new extinctions. Conservationists continue to encourage them to uphold their zero extinction commitment,” DiCaprio wrote.
“The only way to protect the swift parrot, and hundreds of other threatened Australian forest species, is to end native forest logging across Australia and Tasmania.”
