The macaws are under serious threat from poaching as well as habitat destruction. I've been to this area many times before and after the dam, but still the sighting of these magnificent birds is incredible to watch. Our scarlet macaws are a subspecies not found elsewhere. When they are gone, there are no more to repopulate the Chiquibul with. Sad.
