Macaw Recovery Network (previously The Ara Project)

Who we are

Macaw Recovery Network (previously The Ara Project) is dedicated to save the endangered Great green Macaw and Scarlet Macaw native in Costa Rica. By protecting a Great species, entire ecosystems can be saved. Many neotropical parrots are in decline and they need help. 

The Network's conservation sites could not exist without the dedicated volunteers that join our teams year round. We offer various Volunteering and Apprentice positions which give you an opportunity to get hands-on experience with the conservation of two threatened species of Macaw. Volunteers have the opportunity to make a difference to these species, meet people from all over the world and experience Costa Rican life & culture!
