Trip# 273: Birds and disturbances at Ansenuza National Park (presentation)
Tags:
Description: Laguna Mar Chiquita is the biggest saline lake in Latin America and was recently established as Ansenuza National Park, the highest level of protection for natural areas in Argentina. It has also been declared a sister lake to Mono Lake and the Great Salt Lake, as they are key sites for the conservation of Neotropical Migratory birds. In this talk we will see the birds of Laguna Mar Chiquita such as flamingos and migratory birds in their non reproductive season. We will also have an approach to the results of a study carried out by Aves Argentinas and the WHSRN that analyzed the different disturbances caused by tourism at Laguna Mar Chiquita and their impact on the birds.
