Story summary
- Four blue-and-yellow macaws were released in Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, to revive the park's biodiversity after a 200-year absence.
- The release is led by Refauna to restore biodiversity in the park, which suffered from poaching and deforestation.
- A permanent release is planned for September, timed for abundant food.
- Marcelo Rheingantz, executive director of Refauna, hopes the macaws will thrive and be seen across the city as Tijuca's revival.
