"River of Raptors, Veracruz, Mexico"  presented by Matthew Jeffery 



The “River of Raptors” is one of the great migration events of the world. More than 4.5 million hawks, kites, vulture, and falcons pass through Veracruz, Mexico, each fall as they fly south to their wintering grounds in Central and South America, but this once forested habitat is witnessing dramatic changes to the landscape that are reducing the available habitat that raptors and other species need to survive. Audubon's International Alliances Program  and Pronatura Veracruz have been working together to change the trend and conserve and enhance these remaining forests. 


See the Programs page for more information.
