From the North American Bird Conservation Initiative:

A new effort is underway to solicit original research, case studies, opinion pieces, and other previously unpublished contributions for a volume of work to be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2025. The book will present a brief history and recent discoveries by Neotropical ornithologists, integrate the contributions of indigenous, Afro-descent, and minority communities - perspectives, approaches, and subjects often overlooked in Latin American and Caribbean ornithology. The book will provide an eye-opening view of the innovative research and stories of scientific discovery taking place in the Neotropics today, but about which many conservation professionals are unaware. It is anticipated that approximately 90% of the authors and nearly 100% of the lead authors will be researchers based in the Neotropics, the majority of them non-primary English speakers. Contributions are expected from ornithologists, ecologists, conservation practitioners, ethnographers, educators, and social scientists. To have your contribution considered for inclusion, please email Steve Albert (salbert AT birdpop.org) by 30 November 2023.

Se está llevando a cabo un nuevo esfuerzo para someter propuestas para participar como autores en un nuevo libro que presentará el estado del arte de la ornitología neotropical desde la perspectiva de ornitólogos y conservacionistas de América Latina y el Caribe. Este libro será publicado en el 2025 por la división editorial Johns Hopkins University Press. El libro presentará la historia y los descubrimientos recientes deornitólogos locales e integrará las contribuciones de comunidades indígenas,afrodescendientes y otras minorías, las cuales han sido frecuentemente pasadaspor alto en la ornitología de América Latina y el Caribe. El libro revelará lashistorias detrás de las investigaciones y descubrimientos científicos que seestán llevando a cabo en el neotrópico, las cuales son en gran medidadesconocidas por muchos profesionales de la investigación y la conservación. Anticipamosque aproximadamente el 90% de los coautores y cerca del 100% de los autoresprincipales serán investigadores locales del Neotrópico. Esperamos contribuciones de un amplio conjunto de autores incluyendobiólogos evolutivos, ecólogos, conservacionistas, etnoornitólogos, educadores ycientíficos sociales.
