** Watch Now if you Missed It: Strengthening Bird Habitats and Coastal Resilience in Panama

The video from our recent program is now available to watch here ([link removed]) . Although it is only about three-quarters the size of Virginia, Panama has recorded more than 1,000 bird species. Each year millions of migratory shorebirds fuel their journeys across this narrow isthmus that connects the continents, making this small country tremendously important to migratory avifauna. Panama Bay alone hosts a third of the global population of Western Sandpipers, a fifth of the world’s Semipalmated Plovers, and dozens of other North American migratory bird species. This webinar covers the “Blue Natural Heritage Project,” a project supporting carbon capture, biodiversity, human well-being, and coastal resilience. The project aims to elevate the importance of Panama’s coastal mangrove ecosystems and related wetlands, the carbon they sequester, and the biodiversity and livelihoods they support.

Consider seeing the birds of Panama yourself! Join our trip to Panama next March with NVBA through Holbrook. More info here ([link removed]) .
