Abstract
The unique characteristics of islands provides ideal habitat for endemic species to evolve. Dominica is no exception. Regarded as the Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica’s active parrot conservation program focuses on two of its most threatened endemic species, the Imperial (Amazona imperialis) and the Rednecked (Amazona arausiaca). This paper will focus on the historic population trends and current conservation status of these endemic parrot species, with a large portion devoted to the Imperial, the national bird of Dominica
