This video was filmed at the Tambopata Research Center, in Tambopata Peru. http://www.perunature.com/tambopata-lodges/tambopata-research-center-trc

The Tambopata Macaw Project was begun in 1989 by Eduardo Nycander (supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society) with the goal of studying the ecology and natural history of large macaws so that this information could be used to help protect thes birds throughout the tropics. The site chosen for this research was on the upper Tambopata River in the center of a huge uninhabited track of pristine tropical lowland forest. The Tambopata Research Center was founded to host this research project. Intense investigations were conducted from 1990 -- 1993 under Eduardo's direction. After this point the research continued at a slower pace as Eduardo's focus shifted towards creating the ecotourism company Rainforest Expeditions to ensure that the Tambopata Research Center would remain open and active. In November of 1999, I (Don Brightsmith) joined the team and took over the direction and day-to-day operations and direction of the Macaw Project with the blessing and aid of Eduardo.
