Join The Sussex Bird Club in-person in the library or online to hear Bruce Peterjohn discuss bird conservation in eastern Brazil. The fifth largest country in the world by area, Brazil is approximately the size of the continental United States. While internationally recognized for its vast rainforests in the Amazon River Basin and the sprawling wetlands of the Pantanal, Brazil also hosts lowland and montane forests bordering the Atlantic seaboard, grasslands and brush lands of the cerrado, thorn forests of the caatinga, and other important ecosystems. Because of its size and habitat diversity, Brazil hosts more than 1,900 species of birds of which more than 270 are found nowhere else in the world. This presentation covers the Atlantic Forests of eastern Brazil, home to more than 1,000 species of birds, more species than occur in the continental United States. A portion of the adjacent cerrado supports additional unique habitats and rare endemic birds. Four critically endangered birds will be discussed—the Marsh Antwren, Black-fronted Piping Guan, Alagoas Antwren, and Blue-eyed Ground-Dove—as well as the ongoing efforts to prevent their extinctions.
