I have doubts about the notabilty of this organization. It is mentioned in the article on Spix Macaw several times, and I asked, what is this organization? The original wikilink (probably an unintentional typo) pointed to the town of Lymington, England, so I de-wikified it. The Lymington Foundation is a bird conservation organization in State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's also the name of a much larger charity, which is not associated with the conservation organization. The Lymington Foundation is associated with Spix Macaw, a flagship nearly extinct bird. They have international connections to Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation, Loro Parque, Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots, and World Parrot Trust Their website is apparently http://www.pipress.org/2009/11/the-lymington-foundation/. There's not a lot of press about it - it's a family foundation. Maybe it's too local an organization? I'm going to stop here until I get some feed back. I've placed the name in the Lymington disambiguation section, where it has a dead(red) link. In that way, its similar to the names of many obscure biological species without separate articles.

Anybody?
