A conservation milestone! Rainforestation Nature Park is now caring for four endangered Orange-bellied parrots. This marks the first time that these rare migratory parrots are being housed in North Queensland. Wild populations of the Orange-bellied parrot have dwindled to approximately 20 individuals in recent years, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts. The parrots spend their time migrating between Tasmania and southeastern Australia in the wild. #OrangeBelliedParrot #Conservation #Wildlife

Happy World Tourism Day! 🌏 World Tourism Day is celebrated on September 27, 2024.
