Support to Peru's electoral process as a crisis and conflict prevention measure <p>Peru has been going through a long-standing political crisis since 2016. Corruption scandals and continued disputes between the executive and legislative branches of government have led to a high turnover in presidents ¿ five since 2016. While the 2021 general elections were overall credible and conducted with integrity, they were not able to offset this worsening political context. In a context of economic uncertainty and general and growing mistrust of the population in their democratic institutions and elected officials, there is an increasing risk of instability. The present situation makes it necessary to adopt an exceptional assistance measure regarding Peru.</p><p>The objective of the measure set out in this Decision is to promote transparent, trustworthy and peaceful electoral processes and the promotion of democratic solutions to electoral and political conflicts in order to remedy exceptional and unforeseen situations. The activities set out in this Decision will strengthen electoral institutions and subnational authorities and the capacities of political and civil society organisations to prevent and manage political and electoral conflicts.</p>

Support to Peru¿s electoral process as a crisis and conflict prevention measure The long-standing political crisis in the country, coupled with a difficult economic and social context, are pushing Peru to a breaking point with, notably, an erosion of democracy and of the population¿s trust in government institutions. The regional electoral process in Peru presents an opportunity to offset some of the most pressing risk factors that could contribute to a further degradation of the political and social situation. The proposed 18-month action therefore seeks to strengthen institutional mechanisms and the capacities of political and civil society organisations to prevent and manage political and electoral conflicts. It will address the reduction of citizens¿ confidence in their electoral institutions, the occurrence of potential acts of violence towards candidates and electoral officials, and the excessive use of extreme discourses to address political conflicts between the different branches of government and between the population and authorities.

LAND FOR MIG BIRS Puerto Ricos ecosystems and species are threatened by several activities such as agriculture, industrialization, urban development and urban sprawl, resulting in the loss or degradation of habitats for migratory birds. This project will manage, maintain, and protect habitat for neotropical migratory birds, and increase community awareness and participation in local conservation efforts. Species that will benefit include lesser yellowlegs, peregrine falcon, American oystercatcher, sanderling, mangrove cuckoo, and prothonotary warbler...
SHOREBIRD CONSERVATION IN BRAZIL & DELAWARE BAY This project will: 1) delineate critical wintering habitat for 8 Neotropical Migratory shorebird species along the coastline of Par and Maranho states; 2) map areas most threatened by shrimp farming; and 3) translate all products into Portuguese and introduce these to key Brazilian biologists and conservation policy specialists. The match-funded activities restored 1.4 miles of Delaware Bay stopover habitat for the same shorebird populations that winter in Brazil.
RESTORING DESERTED AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS The project acquired, with match funds, fee title for 119 wetland acres in a corridor that connects existing protected areas. On this tract, the project will: 1) remove and control invasive plants from all 119 acres; 2) remove debris and trash from drainage channels and on 30 acres along the perimeter of the property; 3) reforest 10 acres with native woody wetland species; 4) establish quarterly bird monitoring; and 5) educate 100 students and community members. The control of invasives and maintenance of the reforested area will continue for five years from the beginning of the project period. A maximum of $10,000 in NMBCA funds is approved for bird monitoring activities, which will result in an analysis of the sites and recommend management actions. Important: Restoration activities may not begin until consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in Puerto Rico is complete and any SHPO requirements are met.

KILLARNEY LANDSCAPE Conserve critical wetlands and uplands within the Killarney Landscape of the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region. DUC will secure, via conservation easement, private lands to restore drained wetlands, convert croplands to upland habitat and retain important at-risk wetland and upland habitat. DUC will also secure conservation easements on private lands to retain intact tracts of high density/diversity wetland habitat intermixed with uplands at high risk of being converted to cropland. DUC's enhancement activities will restore small, shallow wetland basins via simple earthen ditch plugs and engineered control structures, in addition to restoring uplands by converting crops to hay, delayed hay and dense nesting cover. In total, project activities will secure 623 acres (99 wetland and 524 upland) in fee and 1,305 acres (149 wetland and 781 upland) via conservation easement. Enhancement actions will benefit 920 acres (7 wetland and 913 upland).
MIGRATION ECOLOGY & CONNECTIVITY OF EAST The primary goals of this project are to determine the demographic and environmental processes that limit populations of eastern Painted Buntings and to provide a framework for advancing conservation of other threatened migratory birds. Specifically, the partners will use light-level geolocators to identify critical winter areas, and range-wide migratory connectivity. They will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to estimate population-specific survival rates and citizen-science data to estimate indices of regional abundance for the eastern population. From this information, they will parameterize a full-annual-cycle population model to estimate the demographic and environmental drivers of regional population dynamics and identify the primary processes limiting population growth.
DISEASE RISK OF SHOREBIRDS Little is known about the effect of disease on shorebird populations and how pathogen pressure varies throughout their annual cycle. This project will address the knowledge gap by determining the diversity of pathogens of migratory shorebirds, assessing the prevalence and infection intensity of common pathogens of special interest for avian and public health, and providing population health measurements for 15 migratory shorebird species including American Golden Plover, Ruddy Turnstone, Semipalmated Sandpiper and Western Sandpiper. This study will shed light on the physical health of shorebird populations over a large geographical gradient and identify areas of increasing infection risk.

SHOREBIRD CONSERVATION IN BRAZIL & DELAWARE BAY This project will address key conservation knowledge gaps and empower proactive conservation planning and action by delineating critical wintering habitats for 8 shorebird species, mapping areas most threatened by shrimp farming, and translating all products into Portuguese to introduce the work to key Brazilian biologists and conservation policy specialists. The companion match-funded project restored 1.4 miles of Delaware Bay beach stopover habitat for the same populations of shorebirds wintering in Brazil. Benefitted species include willet, whimbrel, ruddy turnstone, red knot, sanderling and short-billed dowitcher.
CONSERVATION OF BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS This project investigates habitat use and movements of Buff-breasted Sandpipers at three key migration sites located in Llanos of Colombia, Coastal Plain of Texas, and Victoria Island, Nunavut. Partners will 1) equip 140 birds with GPS Argos tags to investigate habitat use and prioritize areas for conservation/protection in all three migration sites, 2) hold two workshops at each site to describe the project and later present results, 3) in Texas and Colombia, share information on Best Management Practices (BMPs) for grasslands, and 4) In the Llanos Region, hold two Good Governance workshops to build capacity and strengthen management of an existing WHSRN site. They anticipate 5,000 ha and 61,000 ha of ranch lands in Colombia to have enhanced management and Good Governance, respectively. In Texas, partners anticipate study results will lead to significant land protection through purchase / easements / incentives by private and federal entities interested in ensuring suitable lands for grassland shorebirds. In Canada, they will engage with Indigenous people and biologists on Victoria Island in all phases of the study, enhancing capacity of these communities for future work.
