PAMN

MIGRATORY BIRDS PROGRAM.

The Migratory Birds Program (PAM - Programa Aves Migratórias) operates through the integration of actions dedicated to applied research, environmental education and engagement in public policy designed to promote the conservation of coastal birds, both resident and migratory species, of the Western Atlantic Flyway. We are currently working throughout the semi-arid coastal region of northeastern Brazil in the states of Piauí, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte, and expanding our conservation strategies at important priority areas for shorebirds to include the coast of Maranhão and the northern region of Brazil in the states of Pará and Amapá.

Our work is especially focused on conservation of the most endangered coastal bird species in Brazil:

Aquasis coastal bird conservation projects began following the discovery of significant overwintering populations of the highly endangered Red Knot (Calidris canutus) and other threatened shorebird species at the Banco dos Cajuais in Icapuí/CE, with the funding support of Environment and Climate Change Canada and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service.

In 2015, and with the support of Manomet, Aquasis organized a participatory workshop to apply the WHSRN Site Assessment Tool, resulting in the recognition of the Banco dos Cajuais in 2017 as a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network site of Regional Importance, just the third such WHSRN site to be designated in Brazil.

In 2019, Aquasis Migratory Birds of Northeast Brazil Project (PAMN - Projeto Aves Migratórias do Nordeste) was selected for sponsorship by the Petrobras Socio-environmental Program. This sponsorship supports our team in the execution of integrated strategies for coastal bird conservation at the Banco dos Cajuais and other important sites in the semiarid coastal zone of northeastern Brazil.
