ABC Partner: Juan Fernández Islands Conservancy

The objective of the Juan Fernández Islands Conservancy is to protect the long-term ecosystem health and vitality of the islands, a small archipelago 700 km off the coast of Chile. The Conservancy works through a combination of basic research, applied conservation, and environmental education in active collaboration with local residents.

Partnership Activities:
ABC has been working since 2003 with the Juan Fernandez Islands Conservancy to develop a better understanding of the Juan Fernández Firecrown, its population size and distribution, and working to restore firecrown breeding habitat, reduce the threats posed by mammalian predators, and enlist the support of islanders in firecrown conservation. We have also worked together on conservation of the Masafuera Rayadito.
