Bridging the divide: Joint Ventures supporting international conservation in Mexico
 In March 2010, the SJV carried out two workshops Mazatlán, Sinaloa to train biologists, who conduct monitoring for the Mexican National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), in designing and implementing basic bird monitoring programs and projects. The Talleres de Capacitación para el Monitoreo de Aves en Áreas Naturales Protegidas en México (Capacity Building Workshops for Bird Monitoring in Natural Protected Areas in Mexico) brought together diverse partners to design and implement two five-day courses, the first focused on aquatic birds, the second on landbirds. 
SonoranJV.org, Version 2.0
Major changes are in the works for the SJV website! We are about to undertake the process of a complete redesign. During this transition, some of our regularly-scheduled features may not be available. In particular, most of the Spanish language side of the website is undergoing a brief hiatus while we work on developing a better method for managing things in two languages. We thank you for your patience, and please contact Jennie Duberstein with any questions or issues accessing things.
