Globally Endangered Species Relying on A Handful of Lakes in Central Mexico
Please Support Ciencia BioAncestral AC
The Bird Conservation Fund (BCF) is teaming up with the Ciencia BioAncestral AC to raise $6,000, $2,000 was just donated by a supporter to kick off this campaign that will update our knowledge of the distribution and threats to Black-poll Yellowthroat (Geothlypis speciosa) in a series of lakes in the central Mexican states of Guanajuato and Michoacán. Please help us raise the remaining $4,000.
Black-polled Yellowthroat is known from just five areas in central Mexico, in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, and México. Due to its small range and suspicions that its population has declined dramatically, the species is listed as globally Endangered by BirdLife International. Black-polled Yellowthroat is restricted to extensive freshwater marshes within the Transvolcanic Belt region and is seemingly unable to persist in degraded habitats.
