Fifteen Children Beneath the Palm Arbor

On November 22, 2025, fifteen children from the surrounding region settled into wooden chairs beneath a palm arbor, wrapped on all sides by the tropical vegetation that defines the edges of the sanctuary. Before them, a black poster laid out — step by step — the procedure for returning a wild bird to nature. That detail says everything: this was not a talk of grand words, but a set of concrete instructions for the day when one of those children finds a parrot or an injured bird on their doorstep and doesn't know what to do. The activity was a partnership between biologists from Fundación Loros and staff from Hotel Decameron, and was reported by Jender Torres, who was present from the very beginning. Among those in attendance was a farm dog, a quiet witness to the afternoon. The children listened, they asked questions, and they left carrying something no pamphlet could hold: the certainty that they know how to act. That is the kind of commitment Fundación Loros brings to the neighboring communities — one built slowly, sitting under the palm, with time and without rush.
