Southern Wings has provided funding to support conservation projects in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras, all of which include a restoration component. It also supports the conservation of resident species helps provide clean air, clean water, and healthy habitats helps maintain habitats resilient to natural disasters and supports human well-being. Depending on the needs of particular species and habitats, on-site work may include any of a variety of strategies, such as land purchases and habitat restoration as well as training, outreach, and education programs. Once funds are allocated to a project, Southern Wings relies on partner organizations to carry out on-site work leading to enhance the habitat of wintering bird species. These sites include forests, wetlands, and grasslands that face continually mounting pressures. Southern Wings sets the stage for international collaboration by bringing state fish and wildlife agencies together with colleagues beyond our national borders.Īgencies connect with in-country partners to engage in conservation projects which have a direct linkage and positive impact on one or more shared-priority migratory birds. It facilitates partnerships between these agencies and partners in Mexico, Central, South America and the Caribbean to successfully conserve shared migratory bird species throughout their annual life cycle. With its partners, Southern Wings helps focus vital conservation funds on targeted sites in migratory corridors and nonbreeding grounds for more than one-half of North America’s breeding birds.
