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!
Camp Songs
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.

Community Avitourism Guide
Together with Celebrate Urban Birds, the Community Avitourism Group of the Americas has co-created our wonderful Community Avitourism Guide: Guía Para Iniciar Proyectos de Aviturismo Comunitario en Latinoamérica (Community Avitourism Guide for Latin America) – only available in Spanish.
Our motivation was to create a visual and practical guide for anyone who wants to learn about the topic of Community-led Avitourism. This guide was created by community for community and is intended for communities that have historically been excluded from the sciences.

A Collective eBook Comes to Light
A bilingual online learning community, comprised of 50 committed and passionate leaders and educators, was supported by EECapacity, a National Training program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This group exchanged their unique insight and ideas over the course of about a year. At the conclusion of the dialogue project, many participants decided to showcase what they learned by sharing programs and projects with Latino communities throughout the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, in a free virtual publication (eBook). We invite you to download this eBook with the hope that it will help and encourage your work. We hope you are inspired to adapt and achieve similar innovative programs and projects in your community. Let us know how it goes for you!
