Returning Results to the Field

Our research in Amazonas, Peru depends on rich partnerships with rural campesino communities at field sites. We try to give back in any way possible and find the most rewarding and effective approach to be education programs that communicate our science, including workshops in avian ecology and conservation for local school groups and visual aids, such as bird posters and species lists, that we distribute to local landholders. We are now focusing on returning our scientific results to the field in adapted formats translated into Spanish. In summer 2022 we returned to our field sites and distributed Decision Support Tools that distilled basic results regarding the conservation of birds in agricultural landscapes. This work is done in collaboration with the Amazonas Network of Private Conservation Areas (Red AMA) as part of the project Aves de Los Bosques Montanos Peruanos.
