Protection Of Priority Habitats In The C The project's desired result (10 years) is to increase by 15% the abundance of three focal species: Mountain Plover, ..Long-billed Curlew and Sprague Pipit. These species are extremely faithful to their wintering grounds and are strongly ..dependent on the prairie dog colonies that provide them with short grasslands. The prairie dogs have been eradicated .. from more than 75% of their original distribution range by agriculture and overgrazing. The specific impacts are: ..(1) Improve the protection of the Janos Biosphere Reserve, Chihuahua, through the formalization of the Advisory ..Council and update its Conservation Program to achieve 526,482 ha, zoned and regulated in the first and only ..Federal Protected Natural Area dedicated to preserve the grasslands in Mexico; (2) Acquire and manage 200 ha of ..grasslands occupied by prairie dogs in El Tokio (Coahuila); (3) Habitat protection through an Environmental ..Management Unit tool, from grasslands adjacent to prior location; (4) Implement 20 community projects in the Janos ..Biosphere Reserve, including the Campo Limpio Campaign to annually collect and finally confine 2 tons of pesticide ..containers that contaminate water sources used by birds, and (4) Prepare a capture protocol for the prairie dogs and ..two proposals for the translocation and connectivity of colonies to create specialized habitat for these three focal ..species in the Janos Biosphere Reserve and El Tokio, The result obtain the desired increase in the population of the ..focal species.
CONS WTLDS YUCATAN PN P2 The project area is located in northeast Yucatan Peninsula. It is estimated that a million individuals, of some 50 migratory waterfowl species, use the habitat as a stopover. The northern wetlands of the Yucatan Peninsula are also among the key points in bird migration from north to south because they are the first site where millions of neotropical migratory birds arrive after crossing the Gulf of Mexico. The project will acquire wetland and upland habitat, ejidal, national and private land for conservation, and provide environmental education to local stakeholders.

REINTRODUCTION AND SURVEILLANCE OF THE SCARLET MACAW IN LOS TUXTLAS, VERACRUZ, AND THE CONSERVATION OF NATIVE SPECIES WITH COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IV The scarlet macaw (Ara macao cyanoptera) is one of the most emblematic and representative species of the tropical rain forests of.the Americas. Unfortunately, habitat loss and trapping of chicks for the domestic and international illegal trade are driving the.species to the extinction. Since 2013, Bosque Antiguo, A.C. with support from the Mexico program has been working on the.reintroduction of the scarlet macaw in Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve (LTBR) with the goals of establishing a self-sustaining.population of 500 scarlet macaws and restoring the LTBR forests lost to decades of deforestation and unsustainable use of its.natural resources. Through this two-year grant Bosque Antiguo, A.C. will: 1) reintroduce the two new groups of young macaws.raised in captivity for a total of 300 birds in the wild; 2) monitor the free scarlet macaw population in collaboration with the.Scarlet Macaw Community Monitoring Network; 3) carry out nest monitoring activities and install at least 30 nest boxes annually.in sites protected by the local communities; 4) guide community-led reforestation and restoration efforts along 100 hectares of.degraded tropical rain forest to increase species habitat, foraging, nesting and roosting areas; 5) continue with the rehabilitation.and reintroduction of wild parrots (blue-crowned parrot, yellow-headed parrot, and white-crowned parrot) rescued from the illegal.pet trade; 6) provide technical assistance to local communities on sustainable production practices such as apiculture and.production of marmalades as an alternative to cattle ranching and poaching of local fauna; and 7) implement a social marketing.campaign for the members of the local communities, elementary schools, tourists and visitors using communication strategies.customized to each audience.
Saving a Key Mexican Pollinator: Protection, Recovery, and Capacity to Conserve the Endangered Mexican long-nosed Bat The Mexican long-nosed bat population has decreased an estimated 50% over the last 10 years due to the severity and persistence of roost disturbance, loss of foraging habitat, and effects of climate change. There are six known roosts for the species, and Cueva del Diablo in central Mexico is the only known mating site. The long term goal of the project is that all known roosts used by the species are secured from disturbance, foraging areas of agave are protected and restored (where necessary), and key stakeholders in Mexico and the United States are committed to and engaged in implementing the revised USFWS Species Recovery Plan. Through this grant BCI will: 1) implement outreach/awareness hands-on training programs for El Tepozteco National Park and the Chichinautzin Biological Corridor protected area personnel and community members; 2) provide hands-on training to El Tepozteco National Park and Chichinautzin Biological Corridor protected area staff to establish a robust baseline for the number of Mexican long-nosed bats using Cueva del Diablo; 3) work with staff from El Tepozteco National Park and Chichinautzin Biological Corridor protected area to develop an adaptive management plan for the mating colony at Cueva del Diablo; 4) involve members of local communities to complete a comprehensive assessment of caves in the region to confirm the presence of alternate roosts, while providing them with tools to effectively manage their natural resources; and 5) produce a 5-year status review and a draft recovery plan to submit to the USFWS and SEMARNAT to replace the 1994 Recovery Plan.
