Watch over a migrating bird in Central America!

Thank you for contributing to this project and allowing us to continue monitoring endangered bird migration in Nicaragua. 

Your support enabled us to implement a wildlife tracking Motus station, allowing us to locate the habitats of certain birds, stopover points along migration patterns, and migration timing. With this resource we collected important data which is being used to determine how to best practice conservation for certain migratory species. Unfortunatley our Motus sytem underwent some technical difficulties this year, but we're in the process of troubleshooting and look forward to the certain impact this new technology will have on our conservation goals.

With this in mind, Paso Pacifico has proposed the expansion of a network of Motus stations across Central America and South West Mexico. With an increased range it would be possible to monitor more birds more precisely, making it easier to collect data about Redlisted species and gain support of wildlife corridors and habitat protection.

We also recieved positive news from the Willow Flycatcher campaign. Photos taken in protected Willow Flycatcher habitat in eastern El Salvador revealed many other birds of conservation concern inhabiting the same areas. This diversity reflects the importance of preserving these Salvadorian ecosystems which are home to a variety of endangered birds and wildlife.

Lastly, Paso Pacifico was thrilled to celebrate October Big Day on the 12th, a global day for birding within a larger weekend of bird appreciation. Paso Pacifico's ranger team took their binoculars and cameras to the Paso Del Istmo wildlife corridor in southern Nicaragua and to Granada in the west, capturing photos of of the forest inhabitants.

We are very grateful for your support of this project, with your help Paso Pacifico will continue to make an impact on the protection of migrating species.
