MARINE TURTLE CONSERVATION FUND - 2021 The purpose of this project is to implement a community-based sea turtle conservation project between.the mouths of the Karaslaya and Indio/San Juan rivers, an area which hosts the most important hawksbill.nesting in Caribbean Nicaragua. The intent of this project is to protect nests and nesting turtles from.poaching. Activities include: (1) training local community members to conduct twice-weekly surveys.from May through October along 36 km of the El Cocal nesting beach to count nests and deter poaching:.(2) conducting an eight-day field and classroom-based sea turtle course for four students and a faculty.member from Blue Fields Indian and Caribbean University; and (3) conducting outreach, education, and.awareness activities with municipal and communal authorities and local communities. El Cocal is.relatively underdeveloped and remote, and may migrate inland as sea-level rises, becoming a possible.critical nesting refuge.

Project will: 1) conduct stakeholder meetings to complete a threat-identification and priority setting exercise and establish patrol routes, 2) train and activate four groups of five indigenous forest rangers and an indigenous data manager for each group to process and analyze data then disseminate results, 3) set up a payment system for forest rangers and 4) work with authorities to monitor patrolling results and ensure follow-up enforcement action.
FULL LIFE-CYCLE CONSERVATION FOR TWO LISTED BIRD SPECIES Nicaragua is Central America's largest country and harbors some of the best quality tracts of dry forest between Mexico and Costa Rica, making it of critical importance for the conservation of neotropical migratory birds. A full life-cycle approach is needed to effectively conserve neotropical migratory birds. However, a lack of information on the non-breeding ecology of many species of conservation concern hampers effective conservation. The western yellow-billed cuckoo and the southwestern willow flycatcher have experienced substantial population declines, leading to conservation and restoration efforts. This project will contribute to the conservation of the southwestern willow flycatcher and the western yellow-billed cuckoo by locating key overwintering and migratory habitat sites, measuring the presence of these bird species at those sites, and by linking the migrating and wintering populations at these key sites with breeding sites in North America. These applied research efforts will be carried out in parallel with conservation actions focused on restoring and protecting habitat areas, and will build capacity for migratory bird conservation through targeted training to local biologists and through environmental education. This project will improve protection for migratory birds through private lands through establishment of a reserve and partnering with dozens of farmers to restore habitat. ..Additional species that will benefit include: olive-sided flycatcher, cerulean warbler, worm-eating warbler, elegant trogon, and Canada warbler.....

RESTORING KEY HABITAT OF NEARCTIC MIG BI This project seeks to address the threats to areas still available for dozens of neotropical migratory bird species in the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve (BBR), a priority 'Birdscape' for the long-term conservation of neotropical migratory bird populations. The main objectives are to increase the availability of habitat for, and the diversity of, Nearctic migratory bird species in the BBR and to strengthen law enforcement and governance in priority conservation areas. Partners will work closely with local communities to restore areas degraded by unstainable practices and extensive cattle ranching, as well as to implement agroforestry and silvopastoral systems that will also improve local livelihoods and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation. This will be accomplished by signing Conservation Agreements with targeted communities, to restore 10,000 hectares in priority landscapes in the BBR, and improve productive management across 600 hectares. Partners will build local capacities for a better institutional and community-based governance, based on a robust monitoring system for direct measuring of impacts on Nearctic migratory bird communities, including the first Monitoring of Winter Survival stations in this region, with support and involvement of local institutions and authorities for community outreach and education. Lastly, they will train and conduct patrols to identify and deter illegal activities in priority landscapes for restoration in BBR, and support negotiations between communities and encroachers for their voluntary retreat from the illegally occupied territories. Overall, the project will impact a 10,000-hectare landscape in which they will develop migratory bird-friendly agroforestry systems, recover degraded pasture or deforested lands and increase protection to ensure long term changes in forest conditions.
FULL LIFE-CYCLE CONSERVATION FOR TWO LIS A lack of information on the non-breeding ecology of the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (WIFL) (an endangered species) and Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo (a threatened species) prevents effective conservation in their wintering grounds on the Pacific slope of Nicaragua. Both species have experienced substantial population declines and partners seek to better understand the migratory routes, overwintering areas, habitat preferences, and survival rates of these two threatened species. Partners will measure these bird's presence at key sites in Nicaragua, and link migrating and wintering populations at these sites with breeding sites in North America as well as use remote sensing modeling to identify WIFL wintering habitat throughout western Nicaragua. These applied research efforts will accompany conservation actions to restore and protect habitat areas, and will build capacity for migratory bird conservation through targeted training to local biologists and through environmental education. This project will improve protection for migratory birds on private lands where partners will increase a new 60 hectare reserve and add another 200 hectares of private protected areas for bird conservation, work with farmers to restore 20 hectares of riparian habitat and work closely with farmers and ranchers to improve habitat on 1000 hectares through a range of land management strategies.

Promoting peaceful and safe seasonal migrations in Ouham-Pendé, Central African Republic Societal divisions following the 2012 coup and violence between Ex Seleka and Anti Balaka groups heightened historic tensions between nomadic pastoralists and settled farmers. Ouham Pendé is a crossroads for migration and trade, but violence restricted transhumance, eroding livelihoods and contributing to wider insecurity, driving irregular migration. The project will establish: Conflict management mechanisms to resolve local tensions before they escalate to violence; Peace committees to facilitate safe seasonal transhumance, identifying peace dividends of mutual trade and livelihood-promotion; Workshops to promote access to services and livelihoods, and to address root causes of conflict, both over transhumance and more widely.
