Abstract

In early 2000, the Tucson-based Wildlands Project and five Mexican conservation groups signed an agreement with a local land cooperative to protect nesting sites of half of the world's remaining Thick-billed Parrots. The 15-year renewable agreement, the first of its kind in Mexico, will compensate members of the cooperative for forgone timber revenues through cash payments and other benefits.
