Published purpose
This project aims to support the sustainable conservation of protected areas for bird species by local communities, specifically women, Indigenous Peoples, and Afro-descendants in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Peru. Protected areas are a proven nature-based solution for safeguarding biodiversity, building resilience to climate change, improving food and water security, and driving local economic success for surrounding communities. When created in collaboration with nearby communities, local economies stand to benefit from protected areas, as many protected areas are hotspots for ecotourism, bringing in new revenue that directly benefits communities.
