Chilean Educational Materials

In an effort to support educators and group leaders in their educational activities in Chile, several Chilean organizations and groups decided to share both their educational materials about birds and conservation, and more and their helpful hints on how best to use the materials. We believe that you and your group will find these educational materials useful.

You can download the materials for free below. Discover how they can support you and your activities for your community. We also included the list of authors, their contact information, and the names of their organizations in case you want to contact them and learn more about their resources. 

Guidebook to use eBird in Chile

Download this wonderful Spanish guidebook on how to use eBird in Chile, completed under the leadership of Fernando Medrano and Ivo Tejeda from la Red Observadores de Aves de Chile (ROC). This handbook has detailed explanations on what eBird is, how to use it, how to input observations, and so much more! Although this guide is specifically for eBird Chile, it is still a very helpful tool for anyone who wants to learn more about eBird and how to contribute data into the portal. Just remember to enter the eBird portal that corresponds to your geographical area. The instructions are the same for any eBird site. Thanks so much, ROC!

Display and Celebrate Urban Birds!

The Display and Celebrate Urban Birds e-book is fantastic! It features bird drawings drawn by the students of  Northern Chile. The students had the wonderful idea to share their artwork with their community with the help of the Red de Observadores de Aves y Vida Silvestre de Chile (ROC) educators. Their passion for promoting bird observation and environmental conservation manifested in this amazing e-book!

This amazing book rose from the collaboration of educators from the Red de Observadores de Aves y Vida Silvestre de Chile (ROC) and students from the North of Huentelauquén, Chile! The book is filled with the amazing work the students created. Inside the book, there are sections of bird identification,  local bird distribution as well as examples of threats local birds face. It is fantastic to see the passion these students have in creating a greener space in their community.
