PROTECTION OF PRIORITY HABITATS IN THE C The project's desired result (10 years) is to increase the abundance of three focal species by 15%: Mountain Plover, Long-Billed Curlew and Sprague's Pipit. These species are extremely faithful to their wintering grounds and depend to a great extent on prairie dog colonies, which provide them with grasslands (seeds). Prairie dog have been eradicated from more than 45% of their original range at the Tokio site as a result of overgrazing and agriculture, which leads to fragmentation of the colonies. The specific objectives are (1) improve the El Tokio colonies through the purchase or lease of land for protection and conservation, (2) Habitat protection through voluntary protected natural areas at Tokio site as a tool of the Environmental Management Unit, (3) Promote the payment of environmental services through the protection of natural resources, (4) Carry out workshops on the implementation of better agricultural and livestock practices, (5) Reintroduce prairie dog colonies in historical sites and create new colonies, to create specialized habitat for focal species in Tokio (Mountain Plover, Long-Billed Curlew and Sprague Pipit), which will increase the species population.

The project will protect 4,950 acres through legal agreements and implement a pilot management plan for conservation of 205,194 acres protected under Phase I. The grantee will also educate 1,000 participants on the importance of the area and its wildlife, and monitor Brant and shorebird populations at both sites. In addition to Brant, the project will benefit the following priority species: American Wigeon, Northern Pintail, Lesser Scaup, Marbled Godwit, Red Knot, Sanderling, Western Sandpiper, Dunlin, and Dowitcher.
CONSERVATION OF CHIHUAHUAN DESERT SHORT The Grassland Priority Conservation Area El Tokio hosts huge biodiversity, some of which is endemic. Nevertheless, it lacks sufficient protection and conservation actions are scattered. El Tokio hosts the Sprague's Pipit and Mountain Plover, two grassland priority species that both need short grasslands with a certain percentage of naked soil for their reproductive and winter populations. These habitats are highly threatened with only 20% of the short grasslands remaining in the Mexican Plateau, and nearly 50% of it is in poor condition. The most important threats are land-use change, overgrazing, and encroachment, linked with low incomes and lack of knowledge from the communities. This second phase will protect 15,893 acres of key grasslands, tackle desertification in 301 acres, deliver ranching regenerative management in 6,689 acres, and improve access to information by using extension specialists to increase the engagement of landowners to conserve grasslands not only for birds as Sprague's Pipit and Mountain Plover but also for them and their livelihoods.
RESTORING HABITAT FOR THE CONSERVATION O This is a two-year conservation initiative to determine the impacts of fire on the floral nectar resources of migratory ..hummingbirds in key wintering habitats in the Sierra de Manantln Biosphere Reserve (SMBR) in Jalisco, Mexico ..and to act on the management practices and restoration strategies developed from that research at local, regional, ..and international levels. Partners will provide much-needed management recommendations that address the timing ..of prescribed fires and the restoration of post-fire habitat through a 378 hectare restoration project that will be ..monitored and used as a model for future efforts. The project will benefit six Neotropical migratory hummingbird ..species, focusing primarily upon Rufous Hummingbird, an important pollinator and long-distance migrant whose ..populations have declined steadily since 1980. This project's end products will include:1) an assessment of the ..impacts of fire and fire severity on hummingbird habitat; 2) the role of post-fire restoration on meadows and other ..habitats used by hummingbirds; 3) recommendations for land managers regarding the effective use of fire as a ..management tool with consideration of migratory hummingbirds; and 4) restoration of 378 hectares to provide the ..nectar-producing plants migratory hummingbirds need to survive at non-breeding sites.

MANGROVE RESTORATION & HABITAT ENHANCEME The Sabancuy estuary is part of a regional swamp and marsh system within the Federal Flora and Fauna Protected Area Laguna de Terminos. Together with Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve, this protected area encompasses the ecologically most important coastal wetlands in Mesoamerica. The USFWS mid-winter survey of 2006 estimated more than 200,000 waterfowl using this area, confirming that it is the most important site for wintering Blue-winged Teal along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and an important site for breeding and migratory shorebirds. The estuary offers coastal and freshwater wetlands that provide resting and foraging habitat for waterfowl and shorebird species. This project will contribute to improved food resources and higher quality habitat for migratory birds, as well as nursery areas for fish, crabs and shrimp. It will restore the hydrology and support the regeneration of mangroves in 966 acres of coastal wetlands in the estuary.
CONSERVATION OF CRITICAL GRASSLANDS IN D Malpais and Cuchillas de la Zarca Grassland Priority Conservation Areas (GPCAs) have been historically omitted from grasslands conservancy efforts, despite being the ones with the most grassland ecosystem proportional coverage, the highest grassland bird average density, and of being the GPCAs with the first and third highest bird density in the Chihuahuan Desert. With this initiative, we intend to lay the foundation to join the actions of key actors to work for conservation of these important areas. The project includes: (I) protection of 9,851 acres of critical habitat for grassland birds in Cuchillas de la Zarca and Malpas GPCAs through legal conservation mechanisms and the creation of two Volunteer Natural Protected Areas (II) restoration of 197.6 acres of key habitat for priority species through soil activities in the GPCA Cuchillas de la Zarca and Malpas, (III) sustainable grassland management in 9,851 acres, (IV) development of the Business Plan for Conservation of the GPCAs Cuchillas de la Zarca and Malpais, (V) winter monitoring of grassland birds at the Cuchillas de la Zarca and Malpas GPCAs
