I was interviewed by Global Forest Watch in Washington, DC, about the science and filming behind our Macaw Kingdom documentary (see trailer below) we produced in the Peruvian Amazon. The interview was published in two blog posts by Sarah Ruiz: I was interviewed, among other scientists and NGOs, about the unusually large forest fires worldwide. The video was made by the BluePlanet [KékBolygó] environmental programme of M1 (Hungarian National TV channel). The rainforest footage was provided by our NGO, Wildlife Messengers. Watch the short report in Hungarian with English subtitles:
I was invited by the Global Forest Watch to their headquarters in the World Resources Institute in Washington, DC, for the screening of our documentary, The Macaw Kingdom, and to attend a Q&A after the movie with my colleague and director of the film, Attila David Molnar.
Our Macaw Kingdom documentary was featured as one of the projects that used GFW data in their blog article.
Professor Heinsohn said swift parrots were not the only species where the fabric of society was threatened by too few females. Scientists at ANU have found a chronic shortage of females in a critically endangered parrot species has led to love triangles, sneaky sex on the side, increased fighting between males and fewer babies. Interview with George Olah and Garai Cintia about their non-profit organization, Wildlife Messengers, aiming to produce films for conservation. The young scientists, filmmakers also talk about their recent award-winning movie, The Macaw Kingdom, and about a new documentary they are currently working with the Indonesian Parrot Project. The interview was produced by the BluePlanet (Kék Bolygó) program of the M1 TV channel and it was broadcasted on the 4th June 2018 in Hungary. Turn on the English subtitle!

Full paper: http://rdcu.be/Gh5J Oláh György zoológus, aki az elmúlt években a déli félteke számos országában dolgozott a papagájok terepi kutatójaként, nemrégiben előadást tartott Állatkertben a terepen folytatott kutatásainak eredményeiről. Ebben a kisfilmben a fiatal, de máris komoly eredményeket felmutató kutató a Fővárosi Állat- és Növénykert papagájokkal kapcsolatos szakmai munkáját méltatja. Intézményünk már a megnyitás évében is foglalkozott papagájokkal. Az elmúlt években is számos érdekes fajt mutattunk be, részt vettünk a természetvédelmi erőfeszítésekben és sikerrel szaporítottunk több ritka papagájfajt. I was interviewed by the program Omniscience (Minden Tudás) of the M1 TV channel, about my conservation genetics research in the Peruvian rainforest. It was broadcasted on the 11th August 2017 in Hungary. Turn on the English subtitle! I was interviewed about the scientific expedition I led to the Candamo valley in the south-eastern Peruvian Amazon. The interview was produced by the Blue Planet (Kék Bolygó) program of the M1 TV channel and it was broadcasted on the 26th June 2017 in Hungary. Turn on the English subtitle! A video abstract of our study "The application of non-invasive genetic tagging reveals new insights into the clay lick use by macaws in the Peruvian Amazon" published in Conservation Genetics. Full text of the paper: http://rdcu.be/v06j A video abstract of our peer-reviewed publication "Exploring dispersal barriers using landscape genetic resistance modelling in scarlet macaws of the Peruvian Amazon" by George Olah, Annabel L. Smith, Gregory P. Asner, Donald J. Brightsmith, Robert G. Heinsohn, and Rod Peakall in Landscape Ecology doi:10.1007/s10980-016-0457-8 Full-text (view-only version) by SpringerNature: http://rdcu.be/mRx6 DOI link: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10980-016-0457-8 We believe that video abstracts have a positive feedback on the citation of the research paper they are associated with. So we made our first video abstract about our publication in Biodiversity and Conservation. Watch the video below. Meghan Gilbert interviewed me about our study published in Biodiversity and Conservation: Known for their intelligence and extraordinary rock star-like appearances, parrots inhabit subtropical and tropical regions across the globe. They are one of the more well-known tropical bird species in the developed world, with appearances in popular culture ranging from their familiar role as a pirate’s talkative companion to colorful sports team mascots. These unique birds are valued for their beauty, companionship and intellectual abilities, making them a popular choice for household pets. However, their popularity comes with a great price...

An interview with George Olah zoologist, Attila Dávid Molnár wildlife filmmaker, and Linda Alpern designer about a Hungarian expedition to the Peruvian Amazon.
We made a research expedition to Candamo, an intermontane valley in the Peruvian Amazon. Watch below our short video as the first recap of our trip.
Candamo Expedíció from Filmjungle on Vimeo. John R. Platt covers the environment, wildlife, and technology and for TakePart, Scientific American, Audubon, and other publications. This time he interviewed one of my co-authors, Stuart Butchart (head of science for BirdLife International), from our recent study about extinction risk in parrots.
An interview with Prof. Rob Heinsohn about our paper published in Biodiversity and Conservation: Australia has the world's highest diversity of parrots, but a new analysis by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) has found the nation's record in conserving these beautiful birds leaves much to be desired.  |
