pix's Macaw

In 1990 IBAMA created the Permanent Committee for the Recovery of the Spix’s Macaw, called CPRAA, and started the Ararinha Azul Project (Little Blue Macaw Project) for conserving one of the rarest birds in the world. Other participants included BirdLife International, Birds International, WWF-Brazil and the American Federation of Aviculture and most of the funding came from IBAMA and the Fundación Loro Parque (Loro Parque Foundation ) of Spain. However the last Spix's Macaw living in wilderness disappeared in 2000 and the species became extinct in wild ["The Last Spix's Macaw Cyanopsitta Spixii Disappears from the Wild". http://www.worldtwitch.com/cyanopsitta.htm] .
