I am thrilled to see this article about the inimitable Mane Masat, who works on #rewilding red-and-green macaws for our offspring, @RewildingArg . Thanks to her dedication and that of others of the RA team, macaws are once again flying free in the #Ibera wetlands!

Argentinian Marianela Masat and her team at @RewildingArg made history when they brought red-and-green macaws back from the brink of extinction. On their watch, three chicks were born in the wild – for the first time in over 150 years 📻 https://t.co/KYvuQswWnx
