STRENGTHENING PROTECTED AREAS AT CRITICAL WATERSHEDS OF SOUTHWESTERN NICARAGUA

THE YELLOW-NAPED AMAZON PARROT IS CRITICALLY ENDANGERED. IN THE DRY FORESTS OF EL SALVADOR, THE SPECIES FACES GRAVE THREATS DUE TO THE LOSS OF HABITAT AND INTENSE POACHING PRESSURE. WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THESE THREATS BY SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN NEST PROTECTION THROUGH MONITORING AND CONSERVATION INCENTIVE PAYMENTS IN EASTERN EL SALVADOR S SAN MIGUEL AND USULTLAN DEPARTMENTS, WHERE ITS SUBPOPULATIONS CURRENTLY RECEIVE NO CONSERVATION INTERVENTIONS. WE WILL ALSO SEEK TO FIND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS THROUGH A COMMUNITY RANGER PROGRAM AND BY ENGAGING YOUTH IN A YEAR-LONG JUNIOR RANGER ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM. WE WILL ALSO WORK WITH PRIVATE RESERVE OWNERS AND LANDOWNER PARTNERS TO RESTORE RIPARIAN HABITATS AND PROTECT FORESTS IN THE SAME GEOGRAPHY OF EASTERN EL SALVADOR. FINALLY, WE WILL WORK WITH PARTNERS IN SAN SALVADOR TO IMPLEMENT EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE PARROTS AND BY OFFERING DOCENT-LED EDUCATIONAL VISITS TO URBAN PARKS WHERE THIS SPECIES INHABITS. WE WILL MEASURE OUR SUCCESS AT PROTECTING PARROTS AND FORESTS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SUCCESSFUL FLEDGINGS, THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS TRAINED IN PARROT MONITORING AND PROTECTION METHODS, AND BY THE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL ACRES OF FOREST UNDER RESTORATION OR PROTECTION. TO MEASURE OUR SUCCESS AT ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY, WE WILL ALSO MEASURE YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN OUR JUNIOR RANGER AND COMMUNITY RANGER PROGRAMS. WE WILL ALSO MEASURE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENGAGED IN OUR AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN THE CAPITAL CITY AND EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF DOCENT-LED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THROUGH PRE AND POST SURVEYS DURING PARK HIKES. BY ADDRESSING THREATS TO THE YNA PARROT IN EL SALVADOR, WE CAN AVERT LOCAL EXTINCTIONS AND IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
