Abstract
Parrots, with their vibrant plumage and remarkable intelligence, play a crucial role in ecosystems worldwide. They contribute to seed dispersal, plant protection, and overall ecosystem functioning, influencing plant life cycles and contributing to ecosystem stability. However, the ecological importance of parrots is threatened by habitat loss and the impacts of global warming. As climate change intensifies, parrots face challenges such as shifts in geographical ranges, disruptions in synchronized relationships with plants, habitat loss, and increased vulnerability to extreme weather events. Effective conservation strategies are crucial for safeguarding parrot populations, including preserving key habitats, establishing protected areas, and implementing sustainable management practices. Tailored approaches, education, addressing land tenure issues, and promoting ecotourism are among the key solutions to mitigate the effects of global warming and protect these ecologically important birds.
