IMPORTANT
BIRD AREAS THREATENED BY AFFORESTATION IN ARGENTINA
The
forestry boom subsidized by the Argentinean state has resulted in the loss of
populations of threatened birds in the “Campos” ecoregion, which is a
grassland-dominated biome located in northeast Corrientes and the south of
Misiones in the Argentine Mesopotamia. The
natural limits of the area are the Parana, Uruguay and Aguapey rivers.
It is in this area of Argentina that the largest number of grassland bird
species is found. More than ten
species are threatened on a global scale, among them the Ochre-breasted Pipit (Anthus nattereri), the Saffron-cowled Blackbird (Xanthopsar
flavus), four species of Seedeaters (Sporophila sp.) and the
Strange-tailed Tyrant (Alectrurus risora). In a recent survey carried out by Aves Argentinas / AOP, as
part of the Project “Pampas Argentinas: Important Bird Areas in the
grasslands”, it was confirmed that some populations of threatened bird species
have now disappeared as a direct result of the severe environmental
transformation. Surveys carried out
three years ago had recorded populations of these birds over a good number of
sites throughout the region. However,
during the recent survey, it was noted that both humid and tall grasslands had
been replaced by extensive plantations of exotic trees such as pines and
eucalyptus. Despite this, the
provincial governments of Corrientes and Misiones have made some progress
towards preparing Land Use Plans, in which non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
interested in conservation will be able to participate.

The anticipated Bird Point Count Database,
which has been under construction for just over a year, entered the on-line
testing phase in March 2001, with several National Wildlife Refuges starting to
enter their own data over the Web. After
early testing, more users and data will be added through Fall 2001. Database personalization features will allow land managers to
enter data on forms tailored to their own needs, and will accommodate a variety
of methods of bird count and vegetation data collection.
Once the fully tested system becomes public, data will be searchable
across land use types (i.e. federal, state, and private lands) using
customizable query tools on the web. Users will be able to create their own custom search on an
issue in any particular Bird Conservation Region and within specific forest
types. For further information

GRANTS
FOR MASTER OR DOCTORAL STUDIES
The
grants offered are for a program at New Mexico State University, in the
Department of Fishery and Wildlife Sciences, Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The project to develop is on winter ecology of shorebird birds that use
the coastal grasslands in the National Park of Isla del Padre and in the
northern area of Tamaulipas, Mexico. It
will involve mist-netting and radio-telemetry during an intensive field season
from January to April 2002 and 2003. The
applicant must be able to coordinate a team of volunteers that will provide help
during the week that the birds are captured.
Ability to communicate in English and Spanish is required. The deadline to receive applications is May 31, 2001.

collaborative project (University of California in Santa Cruz, University of
Michigan, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, and Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center)
investigating the effects of multiple predators on arthropods in coffee
agroecosystems in Mexico. Field
assistants will trap, band and process birds, record foraging observations,
search for and observe nests, and enter data on insectivorous birds.
Applicants should be in excellent physical condition, have a very good
sense of humor, have some previous experience in mist-netting, banding,
recording observations, and reading color bands, and possess good communication
skills. The applicants must be
comfortable with conditions that include a remote setting with no hot water,
group living, lots of mosquitoes and heavy rains every afternoon.
The job positions start at the beginning of June, and run through July.
Stipend will be offered, food and lodging covered during the time in
Mexico, but plane flight fee is not covered.
To apply send a cover letter and resume with at least three references.
