IRS990/Desc0CARIBBEAN WATERBIRD CENSUS AND CONSERVATION The Caribbean Waterbird Census (CWC) is a long-term survey of Caribbean wetlands that provides critical data on Bird poplations and habitat usage, identifies threats, and raises awareness of the value of wetlands. These surveys, valuable year-round, contribute to our understanding of how both the resident and migratory species use Caribbean welands and beaches. CWC data is essential to ascertain the most effective interventions to protect wetland species. To ensure consistency, BirdsCaribbean promotes the use of the CWC protocol through eBird Caribbean and organizes a focused regional census each winter. In 2023, we celebrated the 14th annual CWC count, with dedicated partners across the Caribbean surveying waterbirds in our beautiful wetlands. This year, we encouraged special efforts to locate wintering Piping Plovers, a Near Threatended migratory species, and many participants did just that- along with spotting a variety of other stunning birds during the three-week count.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0LANDBIRD MONITORING BirdsCaribbeans Landbird Landbird Monitoring (CLM) Network continues to expand, enhacing our understanding of Caribbean landbirds through standardized survey protocols. The CLM Network aims to: provide training in bird identification and use the standardized survey protocols, offer resources to set up landbird monitoring programs, and cultivate a community of landbird monitors accross the Caribbean. A key milestone in 2023 was advancements in St. Vincent. After the devastating 2021 La Soufrire Volcano eruption, assessing the impact on wildlife was difficult due to limited baseline data on the islands forest birds and a lack monintoring capacity on the island. In January 2023, thanks to funding from the Critical Ecosystems Partnership Fund (CEPF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP,) and BirdsCaribbeans supporters, we held a Caribbean Landbird Monitoring Training Workshop. This event helped us build local capacity for standarized forest bird monitoring and launch a long-term monitoring program on St. Vincent

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0NAMED AWARD FUNDS BirdsCaribbean offers grants from three dedicated funds that honor individuals who have made significant contributions to bird conservation, particularly in the Caribbean. These are the David S. Lee Fund for Caribbean bird conservation (focused on applied research), the Betty Peterson Conservation Fund (focused on community engagement), and the newly established James A. Kushland Research and Conservation Fund (focused on waterbirds). In 2023, we awarded $74,500 in grants to support ten more exciting projects across six Caribbean contries, promoting the study and conservation of avifuana. Our grant agreements include robust reporting mechanisms and many of our awardees publish their findings in the Journal of Caribbean Ornithology and contribute to our blog.
