Alianza Alas Doradas is a Golden-winged Warbler research and conservation group. The Golden-winged Warbler is a migratory bird listed as Near Threatened on its non-breeding grounds.
Alianza Alas Doradas is open to any researcher or conservationist who contributes non-breeding ground information about the Golden-winged Warbler. Its goal is to conserve the species and its associated habitats by implementing recommendations and strategies for long-term protection in areas of Latin America where the bird migrates and is resident.
The group was started by members of the International Committee for Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Ground Research, Monitoring, and Conservation during the August 2005 Conservation Workshop held in Siren, WI. It is open to any person and/or organization interested in working cooperatively for the conservation of the species and associated species.
To join the Alianza’s listserve, send an email to listserv@listserv.uark.edu with the following text in the body of the message (not the subject line): Subscribe GWWINT-L and your name. You will be notified by email with listserve instructions when your subscription has been processed.
The Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) and the Blue-winged Warbler (V. pinus) are species of high conservation interest (Partners in Flight North American Landbird Conservation Plan, 2004). In particular, the Golden-winged Warbler has experienced more than a 50% decline in its breeding ground populations over the last 35 years (Breeding Bird Survey). The main hypotheses to explain this population decline include climate change, loss of habitat on breeding and non-breeding grounds, mortality during migration, and hybridization with the Blue-winged Warbler.
