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, and services/partners--that seek to create localized community-based solutions to rehabilitate and restore degraded ecosystems. Simultaneously, we work 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:
  • Assessing the current state of the ecosystem where threatened species habit
  • Creating localized community-based solutions to restore habitat
  • Encouraging 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  based program in Nayarit, México


NECTAR LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION
​

Strategies to identify gaps in the nectar landscape and to establish regional nectar corridors: 
  • Identifying mismatches of plant-pollinator
  • Developing sources that can inform about the nectar plants
  • Supporting the protection of existing native nectar landscapes
  • Creating nectar corridors

Current Projects
  • Identifying areas of concern for hummingbird nectar landscape restoration
  • Creating regional and horticultural nectar plant lists
  • Offering hummingbird habitat restoration planting recommendations 

​
COMMUNITY RESTORATION 

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

Current Projects
  • Working with communities to identify restoration strategies
  • Co-creating hummingbird habitat restoration action plan

 PLANT AND NURSERY SUPPORT 

Pursued to increase availability of nectar resources, expand the capacity of nurseries, and provide restorative economic opportunities, our strategies are:
  • Building long-term restoration capacity to grow nectar native plants
  • Providing technical support
  • Creating partnerships and alliances with local nurseries and HCCRs
  • Supervising 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) 
  • Reclaiming native nectar plant and seeds reclaiming for restoring hummingbird habitat
  • Establishing 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:
  • Enhancing the role of local communities on restoration efforts
  • Co-creating the best adaptive hummingbird habitat restoration plan
  • Integrating restoration efforts in protected areas
  • Creating partnerships and alliance with resorts to create hummingbird habitat

Current Projects 
  • Building partnership with Vidanta and use membership
  • Developing Network of Golf and Resort Communities


NURSERIES AND GARDENS 

To maintain hummingbird diversity and pollination services in natural and urban areas, our strategies are:
  • Establishing wide-ranging partnerships and collaborations to create and preserve friendly hummingbird habitats  
  • Promoting the use of native plants and hummingbird gardens as a conservation tool
  • Strengthening the role of protected areas in preserving pollinator food chains

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