birds, by its efforts to engage multiple user groups, and the organizationâ¿¿s strong working relationship with Paracas National Reserve to conserve waterbirds while allowing for recreational use. Engaging local stakeholders by CORBDI to achieve and improve shorebird conservation at Paracas National Reserve addresses Secretarial Priority #3: Restoring trust with our local communities. This project also addresses Secretarial Priority #1: Creating a conservation stewardship legacy second only to Teddy Roosevelt as it promotes natural resource conservation (management of a large reserve) through sustainable use (recreation) with the benefit of conserving habitat for migratory shorebirds. CORBDI pursues a balanced approach to land management working with multiple user groups in solving Reserve management challenges to achieve lasting conservation solutions. CORBDI is an active partner in the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy, and this project addresses the key strategies of managing and conserving existing shorebird habitats by cultivating and empowering conservation constituencies at a key site along the Pacific Americas migration corridor.
