Membership Benefits

NBC members receive two issues of Neotropical Birding and one bumper volume of Cotinga each year. The two publications are complementary, and both fill unique niches in the bird publications market.

Cotinga is now well established as a leading forum for publications of studies on Neotropical birds. Papers and short communications present new information on distribution, seasonality, biology and taxonomy. There is a special accent on globally threatened species. Cotinga is one of the few international journals partially or wholly devoted to Neotropical ornithology which still publishes avifaunal lists for sites or regions. Contributions are peer-reviewed and material is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Neotropical Birding is the only birding magazine to focus exclusively on the Neotropics and is packed with articles on all aspects of birding in the region. Features on rare birds and conservation sit alongside overviews of birding sites and identification workshops, accompanied by mouthwatering colour photographs throughout.

Your support makes a real difference in safeguarding the future of Neotropical birds. Join us today and be part of this vital conservation mission.

Alagoas Antwren, Brazil

NBC has been involved with efforts to conserve Alagoas Antwren Myrmotherula snowi CR with funding from our Conservation Awards Programme. In 2023 we funded a proposal from SAVE Brazil aimed at protecting nests at Murici Ecological Station, the last known breeding site. This involved finding and monitoring any nests and capturing and relocating known predators such as small marsupials and snakes, along with other protective measures.

So we were delighted to receive two photos from Herminio Vilela/SAVE Brazil of a nest from which two birds have just fledged, making them birds number 7 and 8 (i.e. total global population of 8). While only being a tiny step in the conservation of Alagoas Antwren, it shows the value of efforts made on the ground which we can support.

Neotropical Birding and Conservation seeks to support conservation work or research that may be of conservation benefit to the birds of the Neotropics. To this end, the NBC set up a Conservation Fund that awards research grants of $1500 to $3000 for projects carried out by nationals and/or residents of countries in the Neotropics (i.e. the Caribbean, Middle America and South America). You can support this initiative by making an online donation today.
