ProFaunaBaja Begins Research
 ProFaunaBaja was one of 7 organizations that received grant support from the Western Hummingbird Partnership in fall 2013. Their project is already underway, and they are working to identify hummingbird hotspots as well as high priority habitats for feeding in nesting in Baja Sur, Mexico.
Educational information will be shared with local communities, including businesses, families, and schools. ProFaunaBaja's goal is to increase awareness of the importance of hummingbirds as pollinators and provide opportunities for community members to participate in hummingbird conservation. ProFaunaBaja is a society of ecologists and naturalists dedicated to ecological and cultural conservation of the Cape Region of Baja California by combining environmental education, ecotourism, and research.
