Bonaire's most beloved bird is the yellow-throated Amazon parrot, but the loquacious lora (as she is locally known) is threatened with extinction: there are fewer than a thousand birds living on the island. Learn about Echo's efforts to preserve the parrot's habitat, rehabilitate injured birds and save the lora. Located 2km west of Rincon.
