Bennett Hennessey, Executive Director of Armonia is quoted to have said:
We have been working towards finding a way in which the Red-fronted Macaw can live alongside the livelihood activities of the communities in the area. The Ecotourism Cabin will provide us a great opportunity to do this.
This is the only macaw that can survive in a medium altitude semi-desert region. The cliff forms provides perfect fissures for it to nest.
(Red-fronted Macaw), is part of a conservation programme developed by Armonia. The programme is working in a variety of ways to help conserve the macaw.
They do this by offering technical advice to farmers, drawing up agreements to protect important habitats and working to promote environmental education, in this case through ecotourism.
