“Halting and Reversing Loss of Migratory Birds through Strengthened Linkages across Flyways – A Response to 3 Billion Birds Lost” This 2-hour session is intended to be the first of at least two discussions in which BirdLife International will facilitate a space for our partner organizations working across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to share their perspectives regarding how to remove systemic barriers that have historically prevented the fair and equitable inclusion of the conservation and ornithological community in LAC in establishing priorities and developing solutions for the conservation of neotropical migrant and resident bird species.
