Ernesto Reyes Mouriño will talk about the value of Cuba as a biodiversity hotspot in the Caribbean, the National System of Protected Areas including the areas nominated by UNESCO as Biosphere Reserves, and the threats for most of our Cuban birds with focus on those that are under some of the UICN categories (CR, EN, TH, LR) especially Cuban endemic birds. He also will talk about the positive impacts of the birdwatching in Cuba and include a short history from the past to the present and his experiences contributing to work with ornithologist and local groups to do social science (eBird for example) and the impacts in the knowledge about Cuban birds. His talk will be illustrated by photos of Cuban birds, as well as a selection from Columbia and Brazil.
