Future Looks Brighter for One of World’s Most Threatened Birds
Posted by admin, October 30th, 2009
Reserve Created for Niceforo’s Wren - Just 50 Birds Remain. American Bird Conservancy, its Colombian partner Fundacion ProAves, and World Land Trust-US have taken a significant step forward in their efforts to protect the Niceforo’s Wren, a Critically Endangered bird restricted to the last remnants of dry forest in the Chicamocha Valley of the eastern Andes of Colombia. The purchase of over 3,200 acres of some of the highest quality forest of this type remaining in the region has resulted in the creation of a new reserve to protect the wren, as well as several other endemic species, including the endangered Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird, and the Apical Flycatcher.
