The\u00a0Glow-throated Hummingbird\u00a0is a rare and beautiful hummingbird that inhabits one of the most important conservation areas in Panama: the mountain range of the Azuero Peninsula. This Endangered hummingbird can find refuge in Cerro Hoya National Park, a protected area safeguarding over 74,000 acres of habitat, but\u00a0the forests surrounding this haven are rapidly disappearing.<\/p>\n

There are\u00a055 threatened species in Latin America\u00a0\u2014 including the Glow-throated Hummingbird \u2014 that fall into the gap between the habitat they need to survive and the habitat that’s already protected. Along with parakeets, tanagers, cotingas, and sparrows, several other range-restricted hummingbirds fall short of their habitat protection needs, including the\u00a0Short-crested Coquette\u00a0in Mexico,\u00a0Blue-throated Hillstar\u00a0in Ecuador,\u00a0Gray-bellied Comet\u00a0in Peru, and\u00a0Chilean Woodstar\u00a0in Chile.<\/p>\n

We can fill these conservation gaps and prevent extinctions by protecting a small, strategically selected amount of land.\u00a0In fact,\u00a0less than 0.1 percent\u00a0of the overall Latin American landscape would need to be conserved to achieve the necessary conservation targets to prevent the extinction of 55 bird species. Working with our partners, American Bird Conservancy is protecting and improving habitat to secure a future for these birds in need \u2014 including in Panama, where ABC is collaborating with\u00a0Panama Wildlife Conservation\u00a0to increase vital habitat for the Glow-throated Hummingbird.<\/p>\n

Join ABC and our partners as we shine a light on the Glow-throated Hummingbird and other species on the brink. Together, we’re sending a clear message about these rare and spectacular birds:\u00a0Extinction Stops Here.<\/p>\n
