Since the Draft
Tool Matrix was developed after the 2003
Conference, it has continued to grow as more groups offer conservation
tools. In order to organize this information in a more user-friendly
and searchable format, we have partnered with the Rainforest Alliance
to create the Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative Pathway. The
Pathway is integrated with the information available on the Eco-Index
(www.eco-index.org), a searchable
database of nearly 900 conservation projects in the Neotropics that
receives an average of 80,000 visitors each month. The Eco-Index database
is searchable by category, organization, funder, keyword, or any combination
of those variables. To see the list of the migratory species projects
available in the Eco-Index, visit: www.eco-index.org/search/menu.cfm?categoryID=85.
The Pathway features an updated “Tool Matrix”, now called the “Projects & Tools” section,
which features more than 100 listings. The Pathway also links to a list
of all of the migratory
species conservation projects in the Eco-Index database, archives of exceptional
migratory species projects that have received Eco-Index awards for “Innovative
Eco-Initiative”, “Best
Lessons Learned”, or “Are
We Making Progress Yet?” for outstanding monitoring and evaluation
methodology. The site also feature links to free migratory species conservation
reports, feature articles about
migratory species projects, and interviews with
wildlife biologists and conservation leaders.
We urge you to continue your participation in the WHMSI Pathway by sharing and
updating information about each of your migratory species conservation and management
initiatives through this new site in the Eco-Index. By completing an Eco-Index
questionnaire, information about your project will be included, in English
and Spanish, in the Eco-Index database, as well as listed in the WHMSI “Projects & Tools” section.
Projects based in Brazil will also be featured in Portuguese. We look forward
to learning more about your project’s accomplishments, and to continue
to provide migratory species conservationists with a cutting-edge vehicle to
share information about their work.
