The Seychelles parrot is threatened by habitat loss due to development and invasive species that prey on its eggs and young. Conservation efforts have focused on habitat restoration and controlling invasive predators. Responsible tourism helps fund these vital conservation programs and raises awareness about the importance of protecting this unique parrot.
The Seychelles black parrot, Praslin parrot or kato nwar is a sombre-coloured, medium-sized parrot endemic to the Seychelles. Historically, it has been treated as a subspecies of the lesser vasa parrot, although it shows morphological, ecological and behavioural differences. Recent phylogenetic research indicates that the Seychelles population has a long history of isolation and may be sister to the rest of Coracopsis. It is the national bird of the Seychelles.
