Using genetic data & remote sensing, researchers found that a macaw population in the Andean Candamo valley is genetically distinct—despite being just 20–60 km from others.
🌿 Elevation = key natural barrier.

Researchers are using #DNA databases to protect our feathered friends from #wildlifetrafficking.

So, how does the use of genomic #forensics help protect #parrots? https://t.co/s8QTvtg5T5

We asked Dr George Olah of @ourANU for the facts; here is 60 Seconds of Science.⁠

Public health is at risk due to the trade in wildlife species.
Dr. Olah @olahgy and fellow scientists are combating this threat by employing DNA technology to tackle the illegal parrot trade. #WildlifeProtection

“If you want to focus on research which makes an impact, this is it.”

Dr George Olah (@olahgy) is using his ARC DECRA Fellowship to help authorities stop the illegal trafficking of wildlife, and address the global threat to biodiversity.

"We can now say with confidence the current remaining population size is only about 500 parrots,” says @ANUFennerSchool researcher Dr George Olah.
"These results confirm we are running out of time to save the swift parrot." https://t.co/eBgJ10yYWk
