A dead letter? Urban conservation, management, and planning strategies from the Mexican urban bird literature

Urban Ecosystems Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Urbanization has been identified as one of the major causes of species endangerment. Albeit important efforts by urban ecologists, there are still understudied regions in the globe with an important bias toward bird studies. Fortunately, studies from biodiversity-rich regions are increasingly growing; yet, with few exceptions, most evidence-based suggested urban conservation, management, and planning strategies have remained in the publications. The aim of this study was to draw them from a ‘dead letter’ by compiling all available publications carried out in Mexican grounds that explicitly suggested strategies and/or actions that could influence bird conservation through urban management and/or planning. We identified three main topics of recommendations: (1) greenspace management and planning, (2) study and control of exotic, invasive, and/or nuisance species, and (3) public policies and conservation strategies and plans. It is clear that the recommendations from the reviewed Mexican urban bird literature provide a compelling guide to start bridging the gap between evidence-based knowledge and the materialization of their suggestions on the path toward creating biodiverse and livable cities. We believe that the transference of urban ecology knowledge relies on the willingness of all implied stakeholders, including scientists, urban citizens, and decision makers.
