ABSTRACT This paper analyzed the evolution of a communitybased effort to conserve the Central Pacific Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) population in Costa Rica. Between19901994, research demonstrated that the macaw population was declining, primarily due to chick poaching. Club Punta Leona, the town of Quebrada Ganado and the Universidad Nacional initiated the conservation efforts. Two regional workshops (1994, 1999) outlined and evaluated a protection strategy. Both workshops recommended: (a) carrying out strong environmental education programs, (b) protecting chicks in nests, (c) increasing macaw food and nesting sources, (d) research and monitoring of the macaw population, and (e) promoting the project and providing economic returns for local inhabitants. A local conservation organization, LAPPA, was created and attempted to carry out the strategy. Reviewing their successes, LAPPA’s board of directors considered they had been effective with respect to items a, b and d. Strategic planning conducted at the workshops was essential for the conservation work. The methodology utilized in the second workshop helped outline the Scarlet Macaw work plan more clearly then the first. Finally, funds channelled through LAPPA for macaw
