The LPO is a partner of the Twentieth Century Fox France for the animated film Rio to be released in theaters on April 13, 2011 . Convinced by its attractiveness and its educational dimension, it is natural that the LPO provides support to the film Rio featuring the story of a couple of birds threatened with extinction (the Spix's Macaw ) plagued by unscrupulous traffickers! While entertaining the young and old, this movie deals with many issues important to conservationists, as the fight against trafficking in protected species, nature protection or reintroduction of operations.
