Shoco Owl Conservation in Aruba: How You Can Help

Aruba Birdlife Conservation is working to save the endangered Shoco Owl, an iconic species on the island. To expand artificial nesting sites from 60 to 500, the foundation needs donations. Your support is crucial to protecting this national symbol of Aruba.

Why Shoco Owl Conservation in Aruba Is Critical

The Shoco Owl (Athene cunicularia arubensis) is a unique species native to Aruba, with only an estimated 200 pairs left. Designated as a national symbol in 2012, the Shoco Owl faces threats from habitat loss due to construction and tourism. Their Conservation in Aruba aims to protect these endangered birds by providing safe, artificial nesting sites.

Expanding Shoco Owl Nesting Sites

Since 2019, Aruba Birdlife Conservation has installed over 60 artificial nests. Their goal is to increase this number to 500 across the island, offering alternative nesting options. These nests have already proven successful in improving the survival rate of Shoco Owls.

How Donations Can Help Shoco Conservation

To reach the goal of 500 nests, TheirConservation in Aruba needs financial support. Companies, organizations, and individuals are encouraged to contribute to this critical project. Every donation will help ensure the survival of this cherished species.
