Part 2 of 2 | The original proposed size of the NMCA (9,000 square kilometers) has already been reduced to 6,538 square kilometers by the federal government, to address concerns from the fisheries industry. To gain support for the NMCA, Miawpukek First Nation is engaging youth within their own community, as well as other First Nation communities across Canada. Passing on traditional knowledge and developing skills in western science methods, they are advocating for the protection of this NMCA and other natural ecosystems. For the past two years, Miawpukek First Nation has led an educational research expedition on the Polar Prince sea vessel, which they own, to collaborate with their youth, other First Nations, NGOs (including National Audubon Society) so they can all continue protecting their traditional lands and waters.

Part 1 of 2 | Miawpukek First Nation, located on the southern coast of Newfoundland, is home to the self-declared Little River Indigenous Protected and Conservation Area (IPCA), where Mi’kmaq people have cared for and lived off the lands and waters since time immemorial. Shorebirds like Greater Yellowlegs also use this vital part of the Boreal ecosystem as habitat during summer months. The people here are working to establish formal protections here, as well as a National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA) off the South Coast Fjords of Newfoundland to help ensure these places remain healthy and intact for generations to come. The NMCA is currently in the feasibility assessment phase, and if established will protect one of the most productive marine environments in Atlantic Canada. The waters are a key migration route for over twenty species of whales and endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles, while the rugged coastline also provides shelter for a myriad of seabirds. Without formal protections, this habitat could be at risk...Continued on following post.

Swarmed by mosquitoes and carrying 10-foot metal poles, biologists Erik Johnson and Olivia Butler splash through a swampy nature preserve in Lafayette, Louisiana, on a mission. A concert of bird calls rings out, but the scientists listen for one in particular: a clear, high-pitched sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet—the tune of the bright yellow Prothonotary Warbler, or “swamp canary” as they’re nicknamed in Louisiana.

They’re looking to safely capture the bird and tag it with a geolocator. The tag will help the scientists follow the warbler on its migration across the Gulf of Mexico to Colombia and back again next year. Although Lafayette is about 25 miles from the ocean, the team hopes the data—from this bird and many others—will help guide the future of offshore wind development and keep migratory birds safe during long-haul flights. That’s because these devices can do something that other tracking technology cannot: measure how high the small land birds fly across long stretches of water.

Luisa Valenzuela (slide 7, left), an environmental advocate in the Biobío region of southcentral Chile, vividly recalls the moment she found her calling. It was a spring day 18 years ago when, from the doorstep of her home in Hualpén, she watched a pair of ducks flap their wings desperately at a truck illegally dumping debris into the Vasco Da Gama-Chimalfe, a wetland that abuts her neighborhood. She suspected the birds were protecting their eggs or chicks. “That day I promised the wetland that I would become the voice for the species that live there,” she says.

For decades, wetlands in the communities of Hualpén, Concepción, Talcahuano, and Penco were considered worthless land. Development advanced over them, filling them in to make way for roads, ports, Carriel Sur International Airport, and industrial zones. Yet these ecosystems play important roles. They help mitigate climate change by storing carbon. They regulate ecological balance: After Chile’s devastating 2010 earthquake, the Rocuant-Andalién wetland in Talcahuano buffered the impact of the resulting tsunami. And even though they are diminished, their diverse habitats—which includes marshes, swamps, riparian zones, and estuaries—support an array of coastal and marshland bird species.

Today, the Americas Flyway Initiative is working to revitalize the wetlands and facilitate 30 nature-based economic development projects that protect and restore critical ecosystems by 2050.

The Salton Sea in California is drying up due to water diversion, nearby agriculture and climate change and drought, leaving toxic dust behind, putting local communities and important wildlife habitat at risk. Conducted during peak bird migration by Audubon staff from , a network of volunteers, state and federal agency biologists, the Intermountain Shorebird Survey replicates a historic survey from 30 years ago to count shorebirds at more than 200 wetland sites across 11 states in the Intermountain West, including the Salton Sea. It aims to better understand shorebirds and their distribution across wetlands, how that distribution has changed over the past three decades, and how the wetlands themselves have changed, affecting both people and wildlife.
