1. WHSRN today
There are 87 sites in 13 countries, more than 30 million acres and
hundreds of partners taking action to conserve shorebirds
Our five-year
Strategic Plan is up-to-date and
being implemented (2011-2015)
15 of the sites are in the Southern Cone of South America (including Perú)
2. Higlights at WHSRN sites in the
Southern Cone
We have 3 operating nature centers for the recovery & conservation of shorebirds
2 new centers work in progress (2013)
Shorebird festivals are “reproducing” in Chile, Argentina
y Brasil
Management plans with “strong” sections on shorebird recovery/conservation
We continue to bet on social marketing (with a collaboration
agreement with Rare)
