The San Pancho Bird Observatory (OASP) is an organization dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats in the San Pancho region of Nayarit, Mexico. This initiative originated from the San Pancho Birding Club (2007-2010), which organized educational birdwatching tours for school students. This club played a crucial role in introducing local communities to sustainable birdwatching, later encouraging the participation of both national and international visitors.

Artículo escrito en español e inglés. The Center for Ornithology and Biodiversity (CORBIDI), through its project “Urban Birds of Lima,” has joined forces to pave an inclusive path in birdwatching, and promote access to this activity for visually impaired people in Peru. In collaboration with the Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Lima (CERCIL) and the Pantanos de Villa wetlands municipal administration, CORBIDI demonstrates that a love for nature and conservation can unite people of all abilities, fostering an inclusive vision of biodiversity.

The XXI Congreso para el Estudio y Conservación de las Aves en México (XXI CECAM), held in late September 2024 in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México, provided an opportunity to present the family of Miguel Angel Cruz-Nieto, from Monterrey, México, with a posthumous Individual 2023 Partners in Flight David N.

International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD), PIF’s keystone education and outreach program, is the only international education program that highlights and celebrates the migration of nearly 350 species of migratory birds between nesting habitats in North America and non-breeding grounds in Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. IMBD officially takes place the second Saturday in May for the U.S. and Canada, and in October for Mexico, Central/South America, and the Caribbean

Partners in Flight (PIF) Awards recognize exceptional contributions to the field of landbird conservation in the Americas.

This Plan is focused on forests and agroforestry systems located at mid-elevations in Central America and northern South America, which are recognized as critical habitats for several species of migratory birds in steep decline.

This document is a draft avian conservation plan for the Sierra Nevada, produced for California Partners in Flight. The purpose of the draft plan is to summarize and analyze existing information on the status of Sierra bird populations, to identify major land management issues that may be threatening the security of those populations, and to suggest conservation actions to safeguard the populations and the habitats on which they depend.

Covering approximately 1/6 of the state of California, the Sierra Nevadas diverse habitats are enormously important to the birds of California and, indeed, to a large portion of western North Americas Neotropical migratory birds. The best way to protect Sierra bird populations, those that are already seriously jeopardized as well as those that are not, is to proactively safeguard the habitats on which they depend. Although we limit our discussion in this report to the status and conservation of birds, most of our conservation recommendations are habitat-based, and would consequently benefit other jeopardized taxa as well.
