HYDROLOGY RESTORATION FOR MIGRATORY BIRD

The project will improve and increase the availability of critical habitats for fifteen Very High Urgency and High Urgency Neotropical migratory birds in Parita Bay, Panama, impacting a total area of 47,492.67 hectares as part of the implementation of the Pacific Americas Shorebirds Conservation Strategy through: (1) restoration of water flows supplying important wetlands for bird feeding and resting, (2) the creation of a Private Reserve, and (3) implementation of best agricultural practices in private farms.

The project will also monitor bird diversity and abundance in Parita Bay, develop a broad environmental education and outreach campaign, and build capacity among project partners, leading agricultural producers and bird conservation practitioners through exchange and training.
