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.

Conservation targets for this plan:

1. Mid-elevation forests in Central America (between 750  and 2000 m) and South America (between 1000 and 2250 m)
2. Agroforestry systems including coffee, cocoa, and cardamon (in the same elevation range defined above for forests).
3.  The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea), and Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chysoptera).

In addition to the target habitats and species targets described above, human well-being in the communities and populations within the area of influence of the plan is a target. Specifically, three of the dimensions of human well-being laid out in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (https://www.millenniumassessment.org) were selected: material well-being, health, and security. This target encompasses rights such as the right to live in a healthy environment, to have secure and stable access to natural resources (e.g., clean water), and to have a sustainable livelihood that ensures access to housing and food security.
