Lot Essay

Victime du commerce illégal, du braconnage et de la destruction de son habitat naturel, le magnifique ara de Spix s’est éteint à l'état sauvage en 2000. En 2011, la disparition de cet adorable oiseau suscite l'émoi de la communauté internationale et inspire deux films d’animation, et (Disney), qui relatent l’histoire du dernier survivant de son espèce.
Cependant, le 11 juin de cette année, grâce au programme mené depuis 22 ans par l’association pour la conservation des perroquets menacés ACTP, l’ara de Spix a pu retrouver sa terre ancestrale, la Caatinga brésilienne. C’est la première fois, dans l’histoire de l’humanité, qu’une espèce considérée comme éteinte à l’état sauvage a été réintroduite dans son habitat naturel.
Cette série de photographies réalisée par Tim Flach entend célébrer le retour à l'état sauvage de ce merveilleux oiseau et rendre hommage à ce moment unique très spécial de l’histoire de la conservation.

The beautiful bird Spix’s Macaw has been extinct in the wild since 2000 due to illegal trade, hunting and the destruction of its natural habitat. In 2011, the loss of this lovable bird ignited global dismay that inspired two movies, and , (owned by Disney) about the last of the Spix’s Macaw species.
However, on 11th June this year - following a 22-year conservation programme led by The Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots (ACTP) - the Spix’s Macaw was finally returned to its ancestral home in the Brazilian Caatinga. This was the first time in recorded human history that a species declared extinct in the wild was returned to its natural habitat.
This series of photographs realised by Tim Flach was created specifically to commemorate the reintroduction of this beautiful bird as well as this very special singularity moment in conservation history.
