El Salvador's dry tropical forests are a vital refuge for Neotropical Migratory Birds (NMBs) on the Pacific Flyway, including 38 Species of Greatest Conservation Need from 12 western U.S. states, like the Willow Flycatcher and Yellow-billed Cuckoo. The partners and the local community have achieved significant milestones including restoration on a 62-acre reserve, monitoring of priority migratory birds, and community engagement with the local water association.

This project will continue to address the threats facing these species head-on, focusing on three key strategies: restoring and protecting habitats, filling knowledge gaps through research, and building local capacity. The primary goal is to conserve and restore overwintering and migratory habitats for both NMBs and resident birds.
