Kirkconnell Birds is committed to the conservation of Cuban birds: Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. It is home to over 380 bird species, of which 29 (including the world’s smallest bird) are endemic to the island—17 Cuban species are considered globally threatened. Cubans are undertaking action now, but support is necessary so that some of the last remaining wilderness areas of Cuba and the Caribbean are not lost forever. A unique opportunity exists to realize tangible conservation action for up to 13 of the globally threatened species and a number of endemics, while also helping to facilitate the development of national and Caribbean-wide conservation programs.
