Picture
Achieving the persistence of pollination systems in the landscape requires the design of strategies that incorporate an understanding of the system as a complex socio-environmental system that originates from the feedback between social and natural systems. Our Restoration work area includes six programs divided into three categories (hummingbirds/science, human/community, services/partners) that seek to create localized community-based solutions to rehabilitate and restore degraded ecosystems. At the same time to create and sustain a conservation economy that helps provide adequate habitat conditions for hummingbirds. 
​
​

Programs


​
SPECIES NEEDS

Aims to identify and restore degraded ecosystem services and critical habitats where hummingbird threatened species occur:
  • Assess the current state of the ecosystem where threatened species habit
  • Create localized community-based solutions to restore habitat
  • Encourage regional efforts and training to achieve restored habitats

Current Projects
  • Threatened Hummingbirds database 
  • Endangered hummingbird habitat condition's review
  • Conservation of Eupherusa ridgwayi, a community based program in Nayarit, México


NECTAR LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION
​

Aims to identify gaps in the nectar landscape and establish regional nectar corridors: 
  • Identify mismatches of plant-pollinator
  • Develop sources that can inform about the nectar plants
  • Support the protection of existing native nectar landscapes
  • Create nectar corridors

Current Projects
  • Identify areas of concern for hummingbird nectar landscape restoration
  • Regional and Horticultural nectar plant lists
  • Hummingbird habitat restoration planting recommendations 

​
COMMUNITY RESTORATION 

Created to work with the community to promote and execute integrative habitat management actions:
  • Organize and guide the activities to restore the nectar landscape
  • Actively replanting a wide range of native plant species
  • Assist new local coordinators in the execution of restoration activities

Current Projects
  • Work with communities to identify restoration strategies
  • Co-create hummingbird habitat restoration action plan

 PLANT AND NURSERY SUPPORT 

Pursue to increase availability of nectar resources, expand the capacity of nurseries, and provide restorative economic opportunities:
  • Build long-term restoration capacity to grow nectar native plants
  • Provide technical support
  • Create partnerships and alliances with local nurseries and HCCRs
  • Supervise the quality and process of the plant production.

Current Projects
  • Developing sources and resources for HCCRs nurseries Increasing native plants on nurseries (Guatemala and Ecuador) 
  • Native nectar plant and seeds reclaiming for restoring hummingbird habitat
  • Establish a training program for native plant production in local communities.


RESORTS AND RESERVES

Work for enhance the co-management of hummingbird habitat through local population involvement:
  • Enhance the role of local communities on restoration efforts
  • Co-create the best adaptive hummingbird habitat restoration plan.
  • Integrate restoration efforts in protected areas
  • Create partnerships and alliance with resorts to create hummingbird habitat

Current Projects 
  • Build partnership with Vidanta and use membership
  • Develop Network of Golf and Resort Communities


NURSERIES AND GARDENS 

Maintain hummingbird diversity and pollination services in natural and urban areas:
  • Create wide-ranging partnerships and collaborations to create and preserve friendly hummingbird habitats  
  • Promote the use of native plants and hummingbird gardens as a conservation tool
  • Strengthen the role that protected areas in preserve pollinator food chains

Current Projects 
  • Developing gardens in Nayarit communities, Vidanta
  • Design and plant hummingbird gardens with Oaxaca Children's Museum
  • Lee's Gardens as part of HCNs Gardens and Nursery Networks
  • Hummingbirds gardens at HCCRs
