We have been very successful in breeding the cockatoos in our living collection. In the field, we have supported Katala Foundation’s citizen science and conservation education project to protect the critically endangered Philippine cockatoo and its Rasa Island habitat. As part of outreach, the team organised educational field trips for the locals of Narra to Rasa and the Katala Institute. Our funding helped provide the essential bird-watching equipment.
