Welcome! As the global population continues to climb, native vegetation is continually being cleared to
meet growing agricultural demand. Many modern agricultural practices have devastating effects on local biodiversity. We must find ways to meet our growing demand for food while supporting local plant and animal species. 200 species of birds that reproduce in the United States spend their winters in Central and South America. Many migratory species are experiencing significant levels of decline. Without sufficient amounts of suitable winter habitat, the future of these species remains uncertain. My research seeks to identifies ways that migratory birds can continue to thrive in expanding agricultural landscapes. The purpose of the Adopt-a-Migrant program is to promote awareness of the conservation challenges facing animals in the tropics and to share research experiences and results from my field site in northern Honduras. In addition, the program will raise additional funds to support my research and public education goals in Central America. Please take a moment to meet our migrants and learn more about adopting a bird through the links below.
