Nicolás surveys the ground for four aviaries

Some decisions are made on foot. On March 19th, Nicolás walked a stretch of the Fundación Loros property to answer a very specific question: where will the two new aviaries of proyecto Ara take shape? The first two — Aviario #1 and Aviario #2 — are already built and operating in the same area, separated by only a few meters. Nicolás moved between them, measured with his eyes, felt the ground beneath his shoes, and began marking the candidates for the third and fourth. All four points fell within a compact area, suggesting that the aviary complex of proyecto Ara will take form as a concentrated cluster in that sector of the reserve. The tentative sites for Aviario #3 and Aviario #4 lie just a few steps from the existing structures — a proximity that could make management and movement between buildings considerably easier as the program moves forward. For now, they are nothing more than coordinates and unresolved terrain. But within those points marked on the map lies the shape that will slowly emerge — the home that proyecto Ara is building, piece by piece, for the macaws of the Caribbean coast.
