Important sites for notable species from the Argentine coast

In this section, demographic information and data on the presence of important sites (used for breeding, nursery, feeding, or resting) for the group of notable species of this web site are provided (see Species Section). The information was gathered from scientific publications, technical reports, and consultations with experts and protected area managers. 

It is important to note that for the chilean flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis), only the species’ coastal use sites are presented. 

The information can be accessed through: 

  • The data table (see below): presents the most recent demographic information available for each important site. 
  • The Interactive Colonies Map (see here): shows the location of these important sites for this group of species along the Argentine coast. Please note that to access it, you must have an ArcGIS Online user account. If you do not have one, you can create one for free on the ArcGIS Online website.
