Get an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at one of Bonaire's most meaningful conservation efforts. Your journey begins with a scenic drive along the ocean and past the flamingo-dotted shores of Goto Lake, setting the stage for an unforgettable nature experience. At the Echo Conservation Center, a knowledgeable naturalist guide takes you through the remarkable process of rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing Bonaire's beloved yellow-shouldered Amazon parrot — locally known as the Lora and proudly the island's national bird. Learn about the very real challenges of protecting this endangered species and find inspiration in the dedication of those working to secure its future. From the center, venture into a replanted section of Bonaire's dry forest in search of these magnificent birds in the wild.
