Beginning in 2002, the WPT funded projects to protect the Yellow-shouldered Amazon (Amazona barbadensis) on Bonaire and in Venezuela, supporting ringing and amnesty initiatives with local nature and environment conservancy organisations on Bonaire, population surveys and habitat-use research, habitat restoration and protection and rescue, rehabilitation and release of parrots caught in trade.

In January 2024, Aruba Conservation Foundation announced the reintroduction of Yellow-shouldered Amazons onto Aruba, thanks to the dedicated efforts of FPNA staff and with support from the World Parrot Trust, Stichting Vogelpark Avifauna and local organizations. Most of the released birds adapted well to their surroundings. The FPNA team provides the Amazons with supplementary food to ensure they have a constant food source while they continue to learn how to forage for themselves.

In October 2024, Aruba Conservation Foundation in collaboration with Tera Barra, a Bonaire-based organisation that restores native plants on Bonaire, hosted a two-day workshop focused on restoring Aruba’s natural areas with native plants.
