Asociación Mexicana para la Conservación de las Aves y Sus Hábitats (AMCAH), Mexico, is working to strengthen protection of native habitats on Isla Contoy National Park, a small island just off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. They will accomplish this by hiring two community park rangers who will protect beaches and coastal dunes to deter poaching and disturbance of the migratory and native birds nesting there. The rangers will also be trained to make observations on species present and the habitats they are using so that management and protection can be further strengthened. Protection efforts are expected to benefit Prairie Warbler, Cape May Warbler, and Black-throated Blue Warbler, along with dozens of other migratory and resident species.

Círculo Interdisciplinario por la Naturaleza y la Comunidad A.C., (Chicatana), Mexico, is working with local communities in the Mexican state of Oaxaca to promote soil and vegetation conservation practices on coffee plantations and small farms in areas where the MoSI program is monitoring local bird populations. With MoSI Conservation Grant funding, they will engage farmers to encourage sustainable management of agro-ecosystems that promote bird habitat and increased diversity. Species expected to benefit from these practices include migratory Rufous and Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Black-capped Vireo, Indigo Bunting, and many species of warblers; and resident White-tailed Hummingbird and other species.

The Kiekari Bird Reserve near Xico in the Mexican state of Veracruz protects important cloud forest habitat. They will use their MoSI Conservation Grant to conserve and restore cloud forest areas by replanting native trees, constructing exclosures to eliminate livestock grazing in restored areas, and creating a native plant nursery to supply their reforestation efforts. Species expected to benefit from these practices include migratory species like Golden-winged Warbler, Golden-cheeked Warbler, Canada Warbler, and Olive-sided Flycatcher; and resident species such as Hooded Yellowthroat, Bumblebee Hummingbird, and Blue Mockingbird, all of which are Mexican endemics.

The Richland Center-Santa Teresa Sister City Project was established to promote people-to-people relationships between Richland Center, Wisconsin, and the municipality of Santa Teresa, Nicaragua. The group has been active in the MoSI program for many years. With this project, the group will improve understory forest condition at the MoSI station and at local farms in order to provide better habitat for resident and migratory birds; and reforest an area near the school in the community of El Papalón, engaging students and teachers to help with the work while providing hands-on lessons in conservation. Migratory and resident birds expected to benefit from this work include Wood Thrush, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Great-crested Flycatcher, Painted Bunting, Summer Tanager, and Western Tanager, and several species of warblers and orioles.

Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society (TREES), Belize, a long-time MoSI cooperator, encourages the creation of social, environmental, and cultural networks by promoting partnerships within Belize and internationally. The group will use their MoSI Conservation Grant to build local capacity for avian research through the recruitment of new bird banders within Belize. They will improve the management of wetland, grassland, and orchard habitats surrounding the MoSI station, and conduct environmental education with local schools. Migratory and resident species expected to benefit from this work include Wood Thrush, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Willow Flycatcher, Painted Bunting, Bare-throated Tiger Heron, Golden-hooded Tanager, Great Currasow, and many species of migratory warblers.
