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.
