THE
LAST SPIX’S MACAW DISAPPEARS FROM THE WILD
The Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Natural Renewable
Resources (IBAMA) informed the conservation community that the last known wild
Spix’s Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) disappeared. The Spix’s Macaw (also known as the Little Blue Macaw) is
considered one of the worlds’ most endangered species.
Until its disappearance, only one remaining male was known to exist in
the wild in one small arid region of savanna scrubland in Northeastern Brazil
known as the caatinga. It is
estimated that the last Spix’s Macaw was approximately 19 years of age, so he
might have succumbed to a predator or died of an age related illness.
The Ararinha Azul Project (Little Blue Macaw Project) was established by
the Committee for the Recovery of the Spix’s Macaw to develop the field
conservation effort. Researchers of
the project have been monitoring this bird for the last ten years, studying its
natural history and working with the local community in conservation. With only
a single bird in the wild, the recovery of the Spix’s Macaw has always
depended on the success or failure of the captive-breeding program.
Through collaboration between participants throughout the world, the
population has steadily increased to sixty birds (fifty-four are
captive-hatched). The program is
administered as a single global population with five breeding facilities.

The
Great-green Macaw Research and Conservation Project
Dr. George Powell and Robin Bjork started the project in 1994 with
the purpose of studying the conservation biology of the Great Green Macaw (Ara
ambigua) in the northern of Costa Rica.
The project maintains the only database available in Central America on
this issue. At present, the project
is being led by Guisselle Monge with the assistance of Olivier Chassot, under
the supervision of George Powell. The
Great Green Macaw has a limited distribution in humid lowlands.
In Costa Rica it is limited to the North Huetar Zone, more specifically
between the rivers San Carlos, San Juan, Sarapiqui and the northern outskirts of
the Central Volcanic Range. The
macaw nests in San Carlos, and it migrates to Sarapiqui.
In those places there has been an alarming decrease in the number of
Green Macaws, in the size of the macaw groups, in the occupation of known nests
and a significant decrease in the nesting range.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON ARGENTINEAN ENDANGERED SPECIES
The Argentinean Center of Engineers (CAI in Spanish) is an
institution that has actively participated in the areas of science and
technology in Argentina during the 20th century.
Some years ago a group of engineers from the Center created the committee
for the environment, whose main focus has been centered on the respect for the
environment and the social media. Since then, a network has been generated with various
non-governmental organizations to create a reasonable environmental policy
within the country with the national Secretary of Environmental Policy.
As part of this strategy there is the creation of a web page that will
include the list of all endangered species.
The author is requesting any information on this matter, as well as work
done with any species, opinions and news about environmental protection.
For further information, or to send a contribution, contact: Daniel
Velazquez, Centro Argentino de Ingenieros, Cerrito 1250, 1010 Buenos Aires,
Argentina, Tel: (54-11) 4811-0570/4133, 4812-0440, Fax: (54-11) 4812-0475,
Email: ambiente@cai.org.ar
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON MOMOTIDAE
Members of the conservationist organization Bosque Tropical are
developing a study on the reproductive behavior of the Russet-crowned Motmot (Momotus
mexicanus) in the tropical deciduous forest of the Santiago River ravine,
Jalisco, Mexico, and other surrounding areas.
The project will contribute important information to the management plan
of the zone since it is on the verge of becoming a protected area by the local
government. The study includes data
on behavior, nutritional and territorial habits, and physical characteristics of
the nests within the study area. The
researchers are requesting any information available related to the family of
Momotidae, given the scarcity of data and bibliography on this subject.
For further information, or to send comments or information, contact:

Jalisco, Mexico, 45042, Tel: (3) 3825-0956, Email: rodbencon@hotmail.com
TWO
NEW BIOSPHERE RESERVES IN ARGENTINA
The reserves were approved at the 16th meeting of the
International Coordination Council (CIC in Spanish), formed by 34 members, which
are elected at the General Conference of the UNESCO.
The two new areas are Riacho Teuquito, in the Province of Formosa, and
Delta of Parana, Province of Buenos Aires.
The delta reserve is made up of the islands in the jurisdiction of San
Fernando, and protects important flooded ecosystems that are the habitats of
endangered wildlife (i.e., swamp and coastal White Mountain deer).
On the other hand, the Riacho Teuquito reserve, located on the west side
of the province, includes a portion of the semiarid "chaco", with
hardwood forests and endangered species (i.e., Amazona aestiva), and will
include in the future productive regional enterprising and aboriginal
communities. For further
information contact: Alberto Alonso, Email: aalonso@medioambiente.gov.ar
NEW NATIONAL PARTNERS IN FLIGHT COORDINATOR
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has selected Terry Rich as the
new National Partners in Flight (PIF) Coordinator. While the position will reside within the Service, PIF will
remain a strong partnership driven organization. Since 1992, Terry has worked for the Bureau of Land
Management's Washington Office as their representative to PIF. For three years he chaired the Management Steering Committee
and initiated discussion between PIF and the Division of Bird Habitat
Conservation to bring other migratory birds into the North American Waterfowl
Management Plan. Terry's duties as
the national coordinator include: production of Bird Conservation Plans,
staffing the Management Steering Committee, PIF Joint Committees, supervision of
PIF Regional Coordinators, facilitation of information within and among PIF
regions and technical working groups, and provide technical guidance for the
on-the-ground managers. He will
begin his work on January 2, 2001. For
further information contact: Terry Rich, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, ID 83709,

FIRST NEWSLETTER OF THE "IMPORTANT BIRD AREAS" PROGRAM
The newsletter has as a purpose to present a summary of activities
that are developed by the IBA's Program's Coordinators.
The expectations with this first newsletter are to begin a series of
announcements that will allow the entire network of partners of BirdLife in
America, as well as other institutions interested in the program, to get to know
the general advances of the program and allow the exchange of experiences
between the different countries that are developing diverse activities.
For the moment, the newsletter will be distributed electronically,
nevertheless the coordinators of the program are considering its publication in
printed format as a way to expand its contents to more individuals and
institutions that could potentially represent sources of information, diffusion
and funding. For further information contact: Angelica Estrada, Auxiliar del
