It is a sad reality of drug lords and military on the take. Such an individual will likely come across illegal activities in the back-country and be seen as a problem.

His lost is our lost!

Incredibly sad to hear about the passing of this fine gentleman, has done so much work with the Yellow eared parrot. Fingers crossed others will follow and keep his work alive

Grotesque, hateful, ignorant murderers. If only they could be brought to justice. May Gonza rest in peace and his life's work continue.
