The Project
The Coastal Birds Project Brazil develops monitoring and conservation activities to protect migratory and resident coastal birds through the Atlantic migration route, contributing to the Brazilian National Action Plan for the Conservation of Waders. Many of the actions of our project are essential to ensure that important feeding and resting areas in the state of Ceará are not affected by human occupation.
Extinction is forever.
our actions
We perform the monitoring activities of the Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) and other species of terns; of the Red Knot (Calidris canutus) and other coastal species. We routinely evaluate the quality of their resting and feeding areas regarding topics like the availability and variety of prey and the impact of human activities that may represent a threat for the birds. We also register the codes of banding birds that arrive in Ceará, in a partnership with American and Canadian institutions. This work is of great importancy for the detection of alterations in the migration routes and fluctuation in the population of birds. Finally, we provide support for local environmental policies and develop environmental education actions with the communities of the areas where the birds occur.
