Imagine enjoying a refreshing beer, knowing that each sip contributes to conserving one of South Africa’s most endangered species – the Cape Parrot.
With fewer than 2000 Cape Parrots left in the wild, these vibrant birds are facing a critical threat to their survival. As South Africa's only endemic parrot species, their plight is one that demands urgent attention and action. That's where the Cape Parrot Project and Zwakala Brewery decided to join forces!.
For every litre of Cape Parrot Ale sold, R10 is dedicated to funding vital conservation efforts to protect the Cape Parrot and its habitat. Get involved - drink an Ale! Or head to the link and donate to support our cause: https://www.wildbirdtrust.com/donations
Your contribution will go towards restoring and protecting local Afromontane indigenous forests through:
- managing alien vegetation to assist natural forest regeneration, and
- supplement planting with indigenous species where appropriate
The Cape Parrot Project prides themselves in partnering with communities to restore forest habitats. They do this by supporting community members to grow seedlings which they then buy back. Together with members of these local communities, they plant these seedlings back into appropriate degraded forest habitats.
