Tree Sitting,
Verb:
A form of protest which involves sitting in a tree. Until the demands of the tree sitter are met or the tree sitter is forcibly extracted, he or she will be supported by an extensive ground crew. In the United States, the environmental movement has been using tree sitting as a form of direct action since the 1980s, mostly in Oregon and California. Several noted tree sitters have managed to hold their lofty positions for several years.

Endangered Species |
Hispaniolan Amazon
(Amazona ventralis)
These birds are known for their bright green coat and white forehead, blue flight feathers, maroon belly-patch and red in tail. They are usually found in a variety of wooded habitats, from arid lowland palm-savannah to pine to more humid montane evergreen forest, up to approximately 1,500 m above sea level. This species often frequents cultivated lands such as banana plantations and maize fields in order to forage.
This Amazon parrot is thought to have undergone significant declines due to habitat clearance, poaching for food, trapping for the local and international cage-bird trade and shooting as a crop pest. Nest poaching is fairly common, even in protected areas, and, in some cases, entire trees are cut down to obtain the nestlings for trade. Conversion of land for agriculture and charcoal production have destroyed most suitable habitat.
