Item Migration and other movements among the lower Paraná river valley wetlands, Argentina and south Brazil/Pantanal wetlands.(Bird Conservation International, 1994) Antas, Paulo de Tarso ZuquimThe southern portion of South America plays an important role for the conserva tion of many waterfowl and waders. Migratory movements were, till recently, known only for Arctic or Patagonian species. The only exception was the South ern Pochard Netta peposaca, with a west-east winter migration from the lower Parana River valley to south Brazil coastal wetlands. The banding studies that have been conducted by the Centro de Pesquisas para a Conservacao das Aves Silvestres (CEMAVE/IBAMA) since 1980, directly or through agreements with local organizations, showed more details of this migration, plus indications that other aquatic species such as Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis, other duck species, Neotropic Cormorant Phalacrocorax olivaceus and White-faced Ibis Plegadis chihi may follow the same pattern. A migration into the same area of the Pantanal population of the Wood Stork Mycteria americana was only recently discovered, and other species may also do likewise when the Pantanal is season ally flooded. The studies of such bird migration or movements between the main South American wetlands are of great importance to understanding their conservation needs, especially when international cooperation among the coun tries plays a most important role. The region has been suffering human pres sures of various types, from land reclamation for pasture and/or agriculture to the operation, in the last 30 years, of big hydroelectric dams which affect the natural flow of rivers or keep flood-plains under water. The impending con struction of the Hidrovia Parana/Paraguay, a large project for heavy river use as a main transportation route, may represent an enormous impact on such rich aquatic habitats, demanding immediate cooperation among the countries involved to mitigate negative effects on the environment. The impact may be similar to what happened in the Mississippi valley early this century. The west east movements between the Parana River valley and south Brazil are of special conservation interest, as a nationally threatened species (in Brazil) is involved (the Chilean Flamingo) as well as duck species targeted for the hunting season in the area.Item Spix’s Macaw Cyanopsitta spixii (Wagler, 1832) population viability analysis(Bird Conservation International, 2023) Vercillo, Ugo; Oliveira-Santos, Luiz Gustavo; Novaes, Marisa; Purchase, Cromwell; Purchase, Candice; Lugarini, Camile; Ferreira, Ariane; De Marco, Paulo; Marcuk, Vladislav; Franco, José LuisSpix’s Macaw Cyanopsitta spixii is one of the most endangered Neotropical Psittacidae species. Extinct in the wild in the year 2000, in June 2022 the first cohort of C. spixii was reintroduced to its original habitat. For a successful reintroduction of the species, it is necessary to examine the viability of the population against natural and external threats and the environmental requirements for success. Thus, this paper presents a “Population Viability Analysis” (PVA) for Spix’s Macaw. It used the Vortex and RangeShiftR software, biological and environmental data from a bibliographic survey, and information provided by the field team responsible for the reintroduction of the species, and who work directly with the species in captivity. We found that the minimum viable population (MVP) for reintro duction of the species is 20 individuals. However, considering the impact of disease, drought, hunting, and illegal trafficking, this population can only persist if the release of individuals from captivity occurs annually over the next 20 years combined with the reforestation of natural habitat to support population growth.
