Before the construction of dams and diversions in the Colorado River Basin, the Colorado River Delta in Mexico supported large populations of marsh birds. Pronatura Noroeste in collaboration with partners has been working on a long-term monitoring program and a binational restoration initiative in the Colorado River Delta to protect and conserve this and other groups of birds and their habitats.
Data from MoSI, a long-term bird monitoring program, is being used to help measure the impact of vegetation restoration in the Colorado River Delta.
Our new coastal Motus network has allowed us to track birds tagged along the western hemisphere and to start filling knowledge gaps on several species of conservation concern.
The reserve is the first natural protected area in Mexico to adopt the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy, and to incorporate shorebirds as one of the main conservation objectives in the new edition of its Management Program.
The Urban Birds Program is a citizen science effort that helps gather information about birds in the Colorado River Delta region, provides environmental education opportunities, and promotes community involvement in restoration and conservation projects.
We are thrilled to announce that long-time SJV partner, Pronatura Noroeste, was honored as 2019 organizational recipient of the Gary T. Myers Award.
Like many shorebirds, the Long-billed Curlew is a migratory species that faces threats throughout its annual cycle. This project works to connect breeding and non-breeding Long-billed Curlew populations, while also facilitating binational collaborations to work toward a holistic conservation approach.
