The Great Green macaw (Ara ambiguus), also known as the Buffon’s macaw, is a large and striking parrot native to the rainforests of Central and South America, particularly in countries like Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador. It is recognized for its predominantly green plumage, with a blue lower back and tail, and a red forehead. These macaws prefer lowland tropical forests and are often found in the canopy. They are social birds, typically seen in pairs or small groups. The Great Green macaw is critically endangered, primarily due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation, as well as illegal capture for the pet trade. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect and restore their dwindling populations.
