The Carolina Parakeet: Reclaiming a lost American icon.
We're championing the history, advocacy, and de-extinction of America's lost parrot. Welcome to the Carolina Parakeet Project, a hub for scientific inquiry and historical preservation.
↓ Scroll DownFrom Evidence to Action: Rebuilding the Carolina Parakeet Story
Our platform is built as a connected journey: it starts with verified historical evidence, advances through realistic de-extinction planning, and lands in immediate conservation action, with a dedicated scientific workspace for transparent modeling.
De-Extinction Blueprint
Review why this species is a candidate, what a credible pipeline would require, where reintroduction may be possible, and how genomic editing and ERSE-guided planning could be applied.
Advocacy in Practice
See how the same tools can create impact now by supporting extant species, with focused attention on Sun Conures and broader priorities across parrot conservation work.

The de-extinction section includes an interactive genomic viewer for comparative tracks, variant inspection, and protocol-oriented sequence analysis.
Guidelines for trust, scientific integrity, and public value.
Evidence First
We ground all major claims in documented historical, ecological, and genomic evidence rather than relying on speculative framing.
Radical Transparency
We surface methods, assumptions, and uncertainty for open review so users can evaluate our process and its limitations directly.
Action with Responsibility
Each section connects to practical pathways for conservation participation, technical review, and accountable collaborative work.
