High in the misty forests of Hogsback, the Cape Parrot — South Africa’s only endemic parrot — clings to survival. Fewer than 1,800 remain in the wild, making it one of our most endangered birds. Its survival depends entirely on the indigenous Mistbelt forests, where it feeds on yellowwood fruits, nests in old tree cavities, and plays a vital role in seed dispersal.

But habitat destruction, invasive species, and the slow loss of old yellowwoods threaten its future.

That’s why Greenpop and the Cape Parrot Project are restoring these ancient forests:

Removing invasive Black Wattle that choke natural growth / Planting indigenous trees like yellowwood, stinkwood, and wild peach / Creating community nurseries and jobs in forest restoration.

Khoi San E Foundation supports this vital work.  This is not just about saving a parrot — it’s about protecting an entire ecosystem that supports people, plants, and countless animals.
