North American migratory birds, including declining species like Wood Thrushes and Cerulean Warblers, heavily rely on Central America’s “Five Great Forests” for survival. Research highlights these forests as crucial habitats for these birds. Alarmingly, illegal cattle ranching is causing rapid deforestation, endangering both the migratory bird populations and the communities who depend on the forests. Protecting these tropical strongholds is essential for preserving North American birdlife and supporting local ecosystems and livelihoods.
