In 2011, GFC Inc was funded by the Society for the Conservation and Study or Caribbean Birds (SCSCB) for a project aimed at increasing support for NMBs and wetland conservation in the Caribbean region by promoting monitoring of NMBs as a means to improve science-based conservation planning and adaptive management of birds.
The objectives were to:
-
Promote management and monitoring of NM wetland bird populations by implementing the CWC
-
Develop local capacity to develop, implement and present the results of monitoring projects.
-
Promote community outreach and education
-
Contribute to maintenance, management, protection or restoration of bird habitat
This project is continuously being funded presently amounting to US $ 20,700.00, as bird counts are conducted in various habitats and entered on a monthly basis by volunteers trained in Bird Counting Protocols.
