Pronatura Noroeste: Public Participation for the Restoration of the Colorado River Delta Objectives: (1) To engage teachers students in the reforestation of 36 acres (3600 trees) in priority sites at the Colorado River Delta. Reforestation activities include installation of hydraulic infrastructure, removal of cattle, removal of exotic plant species and planting native wetland and riparian vegetation. Teachers and students will participate in the last two activities; (2) To increase the public support for conservation activities at the Colorado River delta; and (3) To strengthen existing education and conservation agendas in the Colorado River Delta. Project Description: Pronatura Noroeste proposes to undertake community reforestation campaigns in riparian zones at the Colorado River delta. This project is aimed at increasing the extent of current bird habitat conservation initiatives, by involving communities in ongoing or new wetland enhancement efforts. Pronatura is undertaking many initiatives to maintain and enhance marshlands, riparian forests, and open water areas that provide critical habitat for all these species of birds in the floodplain of the Colorado River in Mexico, by allocating and strategically directing instream flows to priority sites.
