We are pleased to announce that it will begin annually on birding festival in Lima - Peru named Spot - inspired by the sighting in Sao Paolo Brazil - between 2 to 6 November .
For the festival I attach some points
- Organizers: Kolibri Expeditions, with the support of Inkaterra, Miraflores Municipality, Municipality of Lima, Villa Marshes and Living-in-Peru and individuals such as former Ministers of Tourism - Mr Eduardo Arrarte and Pablo Lopez de Romana.
- General Public. It is leading the festival to a general audience, not necessarily converted birdwatchers. The idea is to increase the number of nature lovers, to create more demand for ecological services and thus observation of the natural resources.
- Kennedy Park, Miraflores . Easy access, plenty of passers-free (except workshops and tours that have small costs). Workshops
- . Photography, painting, building feeders, etc. for adults and children. Fair
- : Mesa business, in which are cameras, binoculars, hotels and eco-lodges, tours, field clothing, camping gear, books, etc. 22 stands for 3 days. Participants in the show can be booked for one day, two days or three days. It is possible that different days have different themes - depending on how many speakers would. Topic
- Lima. Each year covers a geographical topic of Peru. To begin the first year is intended for the department of Lima. It is a challenge to the citizens of the capital ratios over the nature and the environment. In 2012, the theme will be the Centre.
- Symposium. There will be three symposium.
1. Villa swamps. Villa Wetlands make it more friendly to visitors and meet the challenges of observation.
2. Rimac Valley and Santa Eulalia. Problems of observation and water retention. Promote their importance. Eco-tourism development in this area as an engine for observation. Effects on water supply to global warming.
3. Audubon Peru. Forming a partnership birding in Peru - which is suitable for beginners just starting birdwatching. Invite all actors of ornithology and birding and nature in Peru for a round table. As we make the creation of a network or association in order to initiate the masses to have an admiration for nature?
- Photo Contest. In Brazil's Spot, the photo competition has involved thousands of people. Photography is really the new entrance to bird watching. The methodology notebook and binoculars for the beginner, has been replaced by a digital camera with multi-x optical zoom and HD video function. The Internet replaces the book as a guide to birds. The bird photography contest will be central to the fair. I will leave the details.
- Field trips. The order Nov. 5-6 weeks we will make several field trips. Destinations include Santa Eulalia, Marcapomacocha and Ticlio, Villa Marshes to Pachacamac and Palomino Island with Window and Poza Arenillas in Callao. Guided
- Free Parks Lima. Promote parks Lima, Miraflores and San Isidro matina activity (between 6-7.30 AM) in three days Wednesday 2 to Friday 4 November. Need volunteers for this activity. Tell us where you park near you!
- Paper Bird Lima - free online. Perhaps one of the parties to this most exciting project of this project is to produce a book on birds of the department in line. This will be a draft which will be among many people in http://www.birdingperu.com/ portal . Already exists in this page a database which can add data. We need about 40 people which each is responsible for 10 species. There are altogether about 370 species recorded in Lima.
There will also be a part of introduction that explains how to start birding in this century and decade .... osea a camera and online resources. The next step is to buy binoculars and all, but that comes after being initiated.
When the book is ready, will be available for storage in the computer, laptop, iPad, iPhone etc. with the advantage to be embedded videos and bird sounds when one is available online. We will also print some copies to 500-1000 will be sold at the fair. Contributors to the book and volunteers will receive a copy free of charge. The idea is that while perhaps a book can sell 1000 copies at most, a free book could have 10000 or because 100,000 downloads. Imagine what impact it might have, with 100000 birding in Peru.
Although this is a project that was born of initiative Kolibri Expeditions is a project by all who love birds. We invite you all to participate and collaborate. The festival is organized nonprofit and hopefully all bird lovers to participate.
More information on the website of AvistarPeru . There is also a page on Facebook .
also there is a powerpoint available on Scribd.com which gives the justification for birdwatching in Lima and in Peru is more important than looks. To convert thousands of Peruvian nature lovers create a demand for a healthy environment and give opportunity to the communities that still have extensive areas of unspoilt habitat reserves to make these eco-logical services.
Put the dates in their calendars. 2-6 November 1: st AvistarPeru. Do not miss it and participate by birds of Peru.
