Living with Pumas in Ultima Esperanza, Chile The purpose of this project is to support the proposed expansion of an international Biosphere Reserve currently inclusive of Torres del Paine National Park to incorporate approximately 20-25 working ranches in southernmost Chilean Patagonia. This project is intended to conserve Patagonias apex predator, the puma (Puma concolor), and the ecosystem services it provides through testing and implementing methods to reduce puma predation on sheep and engaging local communities to reduce ongoing puma poaching both in and adjacent to Torres del Paine. Activities include: (1) testing the success of guardian dogs in reducing sheep predation within an experimental design; (2) producing robust estimates of puma density in the study area, both in protected Parks and adjacent working ranches; and (3) conducting an educational campaign on sustainable sheep ranching in puma country, safety protocols in ecotourism with pumas as an alternate revenue source to ranching, and the unique importance of the ecological role of pumas in Patagonia.
PROT & REST SHOREBIRD MIG SITES CHILE S. Shorebird populations are experiencing large-scale declines along the Pacific Americas Flyway. Wetlands on the ..Pacific coast of Chile provide seasonal foraging and roosting habitats for hundreds of thousands of Neotropical ..migratory shorebirds every year, but they are threatened by development, degradation and pollution. Recently the ..Chilean Government has provided a major opportunity to improve shorebird conservation in Chile through the launch ..of a National Wetlands Protection Initiative. One of the focal sites for the Country's initiative is the Humedal-Marisma ..Rocuant Andalin Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) in the Concepcin area of central Chile. This site ..supports several Neotropical and Nearctic shorebird Species of Conservation Concern including the Hudsonian ..Godwit and Red Knot. Extensive expertise in conservation planning, saltmarsh restoration, community environmental ..education and development of sustainable economic development tools including bird-based tourism will be mobilized ..to build local capacity that can be replicated in other sites. Major outcomes will include: (1) Development of a ..Conservation Action Plan utilizing the Open Standards methodology and broad community participation, ..(2) Establishment of a community awareness and outreach program, (3) Capacity development for staff from Chilean ..conservation organization CODEFF, local municipalities, and Ministry of Environment personnel.
Marine Turtle Conservation Fund The recipient will prepare a description of fishing gear used in artisanal fisheries in Chile and its operations; identify areas of greater interaction between these fisheries and leatherbacks; train aritisinal fishers to identify sea turtle species, safe handling and release techniques and data collection on sea turtle bycatch in gillnet operations as described in the proposal.
Stakeholder engagement and training local verifiers of livestock predation: A project to reduce..human-puma conflicts in Chile The purpose of this project is to diminish and prevent livestock predation by pumas in two eco-regions (tropical Andes and temperate forest) of Chile to reduce the justification for their legal or illegal retaliatory killing. Project activities include one set of workshops for local stakeholders in developing and implementing a predation verification system to detect puma predation on livestock and discriminate such events from other causes of livestock loss. A second set of workshops will be directed to livestock owners in selecting, designing and implementing non-lethal interventions based on cost-efficient design, scientific effectiveness, and social acceptability.

SHOREBIRD CONSERVATION IN TIERRA DEL FUEGO PROVINCE, CHILE By creating detailed shorebird habitat maps, this project will set the foundation for conservation planning and action for decades to come at the shorebird wintering site of Baha Lomas in Tierra del Fuego Province, Chile. The proposed area of study is both a RAMSAR site and a Western Hemisphere shorebird site of hemispheric importance. Populations of migratory red knots have declined dramatically in this region in the last 30 years in parallel with declines of similar magnitude in the U.S. in Delaware Bay. The site is also important to other birds such as Red knots, Hudsonian godwits, white-rumped sandpipers, whimbrels and American oystercatchers. This project will delineate critical habitat for five shorebird species in Baha Lomas; map habitats most threatened by climate change, oil pollution, overgrazing and other forms of habitat destruction; and present finding to Chilean biologists and conservation policy specialists.
Restoration of Alejandro Selkirk Island, Chile: Promoting Sustainable land use and livestock production while protecting biodiversity and ecosystem integrity The Alejandro Selkirk Island is part of the Juan Fernndez Archipelago National Park and a Biosphere Reserve. The island has unparalleled ecosystem diversity and species endemism with 124 species of native plants, over 50% of which are endemic and 35% endangered. Two seabird species, Stejnegers Petrel (Pterodroma longirostris) and Juan Fernndez Petrel (Pterodroma externa), nest only on Alejandro Selkirk Island. The purpose of this project is to curtail unsustainable grazing by free-ranging invasive goats, which threaten critical habitat for native species and endanger ecosystem services for the local fishing communities, thereby serving as a national example of the integration of both human and biodiversity dimensions in protected area management. Specific activities include working collaboratively with local stakeholders to: 1) reduce threats to highly endangered plant and wildlife species through the reduction of the feral goat population on Alejandro Selkirk Island, 2) promote sustainable land use by restricting goat grazing to a multiple-use area, and 3) in collaboration with key agencies and residents, create long-term livestock management plans to ensure lasting protection of critical habitat.
SAVING CRITICAL WINTERING HABITAT FOR TH Funded under the 2016 IMPACT Program..The marine bays and shorelines of Chilo, located off the coast of Chile, support approximately 22,000 Hudsonian Godwits (nearly 30% of the global population).. However, threats to Hudsonian Godwits and Whimbrels include deforestation of the watersheds by agriculture and livestock and shoreline development, and degradation to the intertidal mud flats principally from algae farming. In order to counter these threats, this project will maintain and enhance wintering populations of Hudsonian Godwit and Whimbrel across a network of sites on Chilo. The project will achieve these goals by increasing sustainable, habitat-conservation focused practices and policies surrounding agriculture and ranching in the area. It will also educate and engage the community on environmental issues to support conservation actions and to maintain long-term ecological viability of five key watersheds on the island. This project will increase the quality and quantity of critical roosting and feeding sites of Hudsonian Godwits and Whimbrels in the Pullao, Putemn and Chullec watersheds. It will establish concessions protecting at least 100 acres of shorebird habitat, plant 3,000 trees, complete agreements with landowners and business on best management practices. It will also engage key stakeholders; strengthen local, low-impact tourism efforts; support the implementation of a land-use management strategy; and support additional planning activities associated with watershed management and renewable energy development. ..Species that will benefit include: red knot, greater yellowlegs, lesser yellowlegs, ruddy turnstone, surfbird, Baird's sandpiper, Wilson's phalarope, Franklin's gull, elegant tern and barn swallow...
