In honor of Latino Conservation Week, we are hosting the New Mexico premiere of Ay Mariposa. The film’s subjects include: Marianna Trevino Wright, Director of the National Butterfly Center, Zulema Hernandez, a Mexican immigrant and life-long migrant farmworker, and the butterfly, a creature fighting for survival in a landscape where more than 95 percent of its habitat is long gone and much of what remains lies directly in the path of the wall.

Since 2013, Audubon New York staff, volunteers, and partners have been working to increase the awareness of and reduce threats to beach-nesting birds by encouraging beach-goers to pledge to “share the shore” with Piping Plovers and other beach-nesting bird species.
During our on-the-beach outreach days, we set up a tent and table at the entrance to heavily-visited Long Island beaches and engage with as many beach-goers as we can to teach about beach-nesting birds. We'll also set up activities and games to further engage our audience. We provide visitors with pamphlets and brochures about beach-nesting bird biology, our conservation work, and information on how to reduce disturbances to birds. Then, we ask visitors to sign our “Be a Good Egg” pledge and therefore agree to keep out of fenced off nesting areas, keep trash off the beach, and keep dogs off of nesting beaches.
Prior to these outreach events, we’ll ask new volunteers to complete a brief online training webinar. Please contact NYcoast@audubon.org for more information and registration to volunteer for this exciting outreach program.

With the start of the California 30x30 process this year the subject of equity and conservation has come up in several conversations. Like conservation, equity does not have on definition. Equity across the board can have many different meanings and look different in each region and community in the state of California. For this year's Latino Conservation Week, Hispanic Access Foundation will host a panel discussion with representatives from low-income, underserved, underrepresented, BIPOC communities throughout California. Having a conversation around equity and conservation and what that looks like for each region is important to highlight. We cannot have a one-size-fits-all solution. This event will be an open conversation between community members from throughout CA, local elected officials, and agency staff.

Para la Semana Latina de la Conservación de este año, Hispanic Access Foundation quiere organizar una mesa redonda con representates de la comunidades de bajor ingresos, subatendidad, subrepresentadas y BIPOC de toda California. Es importante destacar la conversación en torno a le equidad y la conservación y lo que significa para cada región. No podemos tener una solución única para todos.

Join Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) and Artes de México en Utah for a workshop from our joint Sabores de Mi Patria program: ¡Somos lo que comemos: La Milpa / We are what we eat: La Milpa.
We will share valuable cultural knowledge about La Milpa and the Three Sisters through the analysis of the cosmological system of understanding the social relations with nature through the significance that corn and her “sisters” has for the indigenous people.
This workshop will increase participants' understanding and appreciation of the cultural legacy of Milpa and The Three Sisters (which are both traditional systems of growing corn, beans, and squash) as symbols of indigenous identity.
The event will be held at the Wasatch Community Gardens' Campus (629 E. 800 S., SLC). The presentation will be given in Spanish and English. Seating will be limited (though standing room will be available), and water will be provided. Expected program length is 1 hour.

During this workshop we will be exploring the interconnectedness between place based conservation and Latino identity, through the lens of our phone cameras. We will be practicing storytelling, talking identity and how it all fits into local landscapes and conservation efforts, all with the expert guidance from Defiende Nuestra Tierra and Aspen Art Museum representatives.
This is a free, guided and bilingual event. We encourage all participants to come as their full self and celebrate their culture as we dive deep into exploring the translational landscape of Lake Christine, where wildfires affected our day to day life in the Roaring Fork Valley a couple years ago.

As the nation faces the latest in what represents a foundational history of Black death and egregious violence by the police, sanctioned and perpetuated by the state, conversations are being held in our own communities. This work is specifically crucial for the Latinx community, one which, while grappling with its own painful and traumatic relationship with the effects of colonialism, witnessing and experiencing anti-Black racism is all too common. There is always room to grow, to learn, and there’s plenty of impactful work you can do, starting in your everyday life. Let’s dig in.
Speaker Bio: Thalía is an Afro-Indigena healer by lineage, educator, Earth worker, and defender of the People. Born and raised in Coloraztlan (Apache, Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne territory), identity has been a journey of rediscovery, reclaiming, and decolonizing. As a person of mixed race, Thalía considers herself a bridge between her two communities (Black and Brown) and steps in to address, challenge, and heal lateral violence and conflict between these communities. A teacher and activist, Thalía is honored and humbled to share knowledge and hold space for others who are challenging colonial structures, perspectives, and systems. Thalía strongly believes that healing and education are equal parts to the liberation of our people and to the overall health/harmony of our planet, Pachamama. “It is an honor and privilege to be of service to mi gente and to bare witness to the journey of freeing ourselves of the chains of generational/ancestral oppression.”

The San Luis Valley in southern Colorado has a fascinating archaeological record dating back 12,000 years. The Rio Grande National Forest Heritage Program works to help inform people of this rich history through the archaeological record. For Latino Conservation Week the Rio Grande National Forest Heritage Program has been working with the Move Mountains non-profit youth group to provide the members of Move Mountains with an interactive archaeological experience on public lands. Move Mountains Youth Group is a non-profit organization that employs young community members from San Luis over the summer. The program educates the members on conservation, community organizing, environmental activism, entrepreneurism, etc, and helps connect them to the land and their history. San Luis has little access to public land, however is one of the oldest settlements in Colorado.
On Friday, July 20th, 20 children and 4 adult chaperones will be shown multiple historical and prehistoric archaeological sites on BLM land, they will also participate in interactive activities and a mild hike. During these activities the Rio Grande National Forest Heritage Program will inform the participants on opportunities and jobs associated with conservation. There is an abundance of public lands in the San Luis Valley and we hope to help connect these children to these areas, their heritage and opportunities in conservation.

In honor of Latino Conservation Week, we’re having a BioBlitz at La Mancha Wetland!
What’s a bio blitz, you ask? Basically, it’s a way that regular people and kids can participate in real science, by taking pictures of different plants and animals that we can use later to collect real data about a special place. So bring the whole family and come on out to the pond for a fun-filled afternoon!

You are invited to join us for our monthly bird banding program at the GCBO headquarters in Lake Jackson on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Licensed bird banders and GCBO Research Associates Robert and Kay Lookingbill band at the sanctuary on a regular basis. Birds are captured for banding in very fine nylon nets known as “mist nets” because they are almost invisible in the environment. Captured birds are weighed and measured and their species, sex, and age are recorded. Each is fitted with an aluminum leg band with a unique number provided by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and released unharmed. If the bird is captured again, the band provides the link to retrieve this history, which then provides important information on the routes used by migrating birds, their longevity, and general physical condition.
The purpose of the project is to establish baseline data for the GCBO property on both resident and migratory bird populations. About half of the 34-acre headquarters tract is old growth Columbia Bottomland hardwood forest. The remaining acreage is partially cleared woodland with the larger trees remaining, the new constructed wetland, and the edges of Buffalo Camp Bayou. Banding will allow us to obtain information about the physical condition of migrants at this intermediate location between the coast and the bottomland forests lying well inland. Both coastal woodlots and inland bottomland forests are known to be extremely important stopover habitats for nearctic-neotropical migrants that move through the Gulf of Mexico region. Birds that are captured for banding can provide valuable information about their relative physical condition. Fat deposits, which provide the fuel necessary for the arduous undertaking of the twice annual travel of hundreds to thousands of miles, can be estimated by examining handheld birds. Recently arrived migrants generally exhibit little or no fat, as their fuel “tank” is depleted by the long flights they have just finished. The importance of stopover habitat to migrants is that it provides them with both shelter and a source of rapid replenishment of the fat reserves necessary to continue migration. In addition, bird banding is an excellent form of public outreach and education.
Along with providing valuable data for conservation, banding is also a great way for the public to see birds up close! Come by to watch the banding process, learn about the birds, and get outside!

With an optional Q&A after the game to get to know the hosts a little more. Moreover you are encouraged to connect with the host organizations after the game to learn more about their environmental advocacy work.
All are welcomed. We encourage you to bring snacks and a drink to add to the experience of game night.

In this webinar, we will discuss the impact of shade grown coffee on bird conservation in Quindío, Colombia from a local perspective. Colombia is home to the largest diversity of birds in the entire world and particularly impacted by the drastic and horrifying downwards trend in bird populations worldwide since 1970. Deforestation in tropical regions due to agriculture contributes to loss of habitat. We will get a chance to speak with Alberto Córdoba from Finca La Palmera about how he has conserved native guadua stands on his third generation family farm in Quindío and taken action to produce only organic, shade grown bird friendly coffee. We will discuss what shade grown coffee is, why it is important and how you as a coffee consumer can help protect wild birds.
