This week, Sarah Otterstrom, our Executive Director, and Julie Martinez, our Environmental Education Coordinator are at the 5th International Partners in Flight Conference and Conservation Workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have made a 40-year commitment to bird research and conservation in the Paso del Istmo Biological Corridor. Our integrated approach includes mapping habitat areas, characterizing land cover, reforestation, education, and community outreach.

Cambiando Actitudes y Comportamientos para la Conservaci\u00f3n de Aves Migratoria <\/b>
\nChanging Attitudes and Behavior for Migratory Bird Conservation in Nicaragua<\/i><\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>Educaci\u00f3n Ambiental \/\/ Environmental Education<\/b>
\nDesde hace 2008, m\u00e1s de 300 ni\u00f1os en 6 comunidades han cambiados sus huleras para binoculares. Adem\u00e1s, hemos trabajado con m\u00e1s de 100 ni\u00f1os como parte de nuestro programa de \u201cGuarda recursos Junior\u201d para promover la conservaci\u00f3n de aves y otros especies en el Paso del Istmo.<\/p>\n

Since 2008, 300 children in 6 communities have traded their slingshots for binoculars. Additionally, our \u201cJunior Ranger\u201d program has taught over 100 children about the conservation of migratory birds.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Conservaci\u00f3n \/\/ Conservation<\/b>
\nConjunto con propietarios de terrenos privados, hemos reforestado 400 hect\u00e1reas de pastizal degradado con especies de arboles que proveen recursos claves para aves migratorios.<\/p>\n

We have worked hand-in-hand with landowners to restore abandoned pastures for the conservation of migratory birds by planting tree species that provide key resources for these species.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Ciencia \/\/ Science<\/b>
\nEn colaboraci\u00f3n con el Instituto Internacional de Bosques Tropicales del USFS de los Estados Unidos, desde el 2009 hemos monitoreado las poblaciones de aves migratorios en los fragmentos de bosques m\u00e1s de 30 especies migratorias.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with USFS\u2019s International Institute for Tropical Forestry we have monitored the status of migratory birds in forest fragments and reforested areas since 2009. Our team has documented over 30 migratory bird species in our study area.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Amenazas \/\/ Threats<\/b>
\nLa p\u00e9rdida de h\u00e1bitat afecta a toda la biodiversidad de la zona, sobre todo el despale para el establecimiento de potreros. Adem\u00e1s ha crecido la presencia de los parques e\u00f3licos, con efectos desconocidos en la fauna migratoria.<\/p>\n

Habitat loss affects all forms of biodiversity in the area, especially the conversion of forest to pasture. Wind power has grown rapidly in the region, with no consideration of the impact on migratory animals.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
