Description
The species has been listed under the endangered species act since 1976 due to habitat loss and degradation caused mainly by cattle farming, agriculture, and coastal development. The sierra bermeja and pitahaya zone in cabo rojo is an ecologically valuable area, as IT contains suitable habitat for this species. Non-profit organization protectores DE cuencas proposes to collaborate with private landowners to advance recovery actions for the yellow-shouldered blackbird. Through this project, protectores DE cuencas will conduct tasks to complete two main goals: 1) engage 2-4 private landowners for the development of landowner agreements for the establishment of forested corridors by the planting of native tree shrub species thus increasing important nesting and foraging habitat for the yellow-shouldered blackbird and 2) enhance habitat condition, connectivity, and resilience by implementing conservation practices (e.g., erosion and sediment control, firebreaks).
