To improve the program, we have conducted almost a decade of surveys to examine the barriers diverse youth may face when applying for these positions and working at sites where staff, visitors, and other interns may be predominantly White. Our model has been very successful in addressing barriers, including those presented by Bowser and Cid within this Forum. Survey responses show that issues of connection, confidence, comfort, and capability can be addressed through considerations of culture, staff awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion, training, communication, and mentorship.

Citizens who are enthusiastic about birds, informed about threats, and empowered to become involved in addressing those threats can make a tremendous contribution to maintaining healthy bird populations. One of the most successful vehicles for public education on migratory birds is International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD).

Este tipo de conocimiento, denominado Conocimiento Ecológico Tradicional (CET), es un conocimiento colectivo que comparten las comunidades que poseen raíces, culturas, ecosistemas y condiciones similares. Para las comunidades que no tienen su base en el conocimiento escrito, el CET se manifiesta por medio de historias orales, valores culturales, creencias, rituales, lenguas locales y diferentes prácticas.

Their small size, speed, and brilliant colors are eye-catching, and their preference for feeding on the nectar of brightly colored flowers makes them common visitors to gardens and residential yards, as well as to the nectar producing plants found in diverse habitats from deserts to forests. Many are migratory, and their cross-border movements between breeding grounds in the U.S. and Canada and wintering sites in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean make them ideal indicators of environmental change from north to south.
