- Field Guide to the Birds of Sierra de San Pedro Mártir
Support the Terrestrial Bird Conservation Project of the UABC Vertebrate Laboratory.
Through the Specific Agreement of Academic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Collaboration signed between the Autonomous University of Baja California and Terra Peninsular A.C., we collaborate on projects to strengthen and link conservation of ecosystems and their biodiversity; working very closely with the Faculty of Sciences and the Vertebrate Laboratory, we promote the conservation of terrestrial birds in Baja California. From this alliance arises “The Field Guide to the Birds of the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico”, which brings together a huge effort of documentation derived from field and laboratory work for over 38 years.
