Where we've managed to protect land 

-The colorado River put camping restrictions along the river to protect the southwestern willow flycatcher from human disturbance during their breeding season. (Jim Petterson, Na)

- The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service excluded more than 5% of the river miles and 78% of the acreage proposed as critical habitat for the endangered southwest willow flycatcher. The majority of the areas are excluded because habitat protection is being provided . Here's a list of where they what habitat conservation plans that cover the flycatcher:

  • Western Riverside County Multiple species habitat conservation plan

  • San Diego County Multiple SPecies conservation plan

  • City of Carlsbad habitat Management Program

  • Lower colorado river

  • Roosevelt Lake Habitat Conservation Plan, Arizona

 

-The Cleveland National Forest in San Diego has supported 12 territorial Southwestern willow flycatchers. ( Kieran Suckling, 1992)

 

-U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System with Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCP) and/or programs that provide for long-term assurances that conservation measures for the species will be implemented and effective. The CCPs are required under the Refuge Improvement Act of 1997.    

-Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, NV                         

-Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, AZ

-Imperial National Wildlife Refuge, AZ

-Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge, AZ    

-Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge, CO        

-Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM

-Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, NM

                        

-Local government, multi-organization partnerships and private entity management plans that provide protections and assurances that the conservation measures for the species will be implemented and effective.

Everything in the planet connects with one another. From living to dying, everything contributes to the environment. Throughout the course of history every organism has evolved and most have been forced to adapt to new environments creating them into new animals with more specific needs to their habitats. For years, many of the species have been slowly vanishing in front of us. Habitats are being ruined, people are polluting the earth and causing animals to not only lose their homes and families but their life as the tipping point. They are forced to evolve and adapt to new ecosystems. One of the many thousands of animals that are being lost in the ecosystem are the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher.

Southwestern Willow Flycatchers are among a wide variety of bids. Their native group is known as the Empidonax Traillii (Walters, 2015). Birds all around the world have a group name. Every bird migrates all around the world based one where they live and their migration patterns. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers will fly in various places around not only the United States but as well in North America. During the summer the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers will be all over the United States, when they migrate they will fly to Mexico and stay there but when winter hits them, the Southwestern Willow Flycatchers will fly to North America and spend the winter their. The Southwestern Willow Flycatchers help improve and sustain the insect population by not over producing or under producing.
