 The
Cerulean Warbler is our fastest declining neotropical migrant
songbird. Among the many threats they face, their wintering
habitat in the Northern Andes is dwindling rapidly. Cerulean
Warblers depend on shade coffee plantations during the winter.
This traditional farming technique is at risk as coffee prices
fluctuate and pressure to switch to higher-yield sun coffee
or other crops intensifies.
American Bird Conservancy is working with
our Colombian partner, Fundación ProAves, to protect
wintering habitat for Cerulean Warblers and other migrating
songbirds. Together we have created the Cerulean Warbler Bird
Reserve, the first protected area created for a neotropical
migrant. Adjacent to the reserve is a traditional shade coffee
plantation that will soon begin producing coffee for the Thanksgiving
Coffee Company.
Thanksgiving is already producing
Cerulean Warbler Conservation coffee produced from beans grown
in a similar, nearby plantation. You can purchase this coffee
today
and help save the Cerulean Warbler.
