ABC Partner: Fundación ProAves

Fundación ProAves is the leading organization in protection of birds and their habitats in Colombia. ProAves works to prevent the extinction of birds through protection of key habitats, working with institutions, communities, and governments. The organization promotes activities that work toward the conservation of natural ecosystems.

Partnership Activities:
American Bird Conservancy is working with ProAves on a wide variety of projects from protection of lands for endangered resident species such as Blue-billed Curassow, Fuertes’s Parrot, and Dusky Starfrontlet, but also for Neotropical migrant species such as the Cerulean Warbler. ABC and ProAves are also collaborating on establishing shade coffee conservation easements for the Cerulean Warbler, and implementing bird-friendly silvipasture practices (including native trees and shrubs among grazing lands) for migratory and resident birds.
