Cover Story: Following an historic reintroduction in 2022, the formerly extinct-in-the-wild Spix’s Macaws (Cyanopsitta spixii) once again fly free in their native Caatinga habitat in eastern Brazil. The captive-reared macaws not only quickly adjusted to their native habitat following release, but also began to successfully breed and raise chicks in the wild, a highly encouraging series of events that bodes well for the future of this critically endangered avian species. View this paper
