In 2009, leaders of state fish & wildlife agencies founded a program to solve a problem: Birds don't recognize state & national borders. 🌎 This fall, that program, Southern Wings, celebrated its 15th anniversary! 🤝 bit.ly/4gtt8Ky

Funds from Southern Wings have been aimed at conserving 81 migratory bird species on stopover sites and wintering grounds through 24 projects in 11 countries. With funds from Southern Wings, ABC has supported the creation of reserves in Colombia's Eastern Andes. Our partners continue to plant thousands of trees in the region and are starting an internship program to engage young adults in conservation. Photo of Cielo Azul Reserve | Fundación ProAves

ABC and partner Pronatura Noreste have restored 140,000 acres of grasslands in northern Mexico’s El Tokio Grassland Priority Conservation Area. This is critical habitat for the Long-billed Curlew, Mountain Plover, and Worthen's Sparrow. Long-billed Curlew in flight by Greg Lavaty, texastargetbirds.com

Southern Wings has also enabled the creation or expansion of protected areas covering nearly 11,000 acres near the Caribbean coast in Guatemala by ABC and partner FUNDAECO.
