Piņon Forest - Prime Thick-billed Parrot habitat
The juniper and pine forests of Chihuahua are disappearing at an
alarming rate, due to illegal logging, but efforts are being made to
work with local ejidos (communally-owned farmlands) to initiate birding
and eco-tourism into the area. This would provide a lucrative
alternative to logging of the forests, and perhaps may one day
contribute to the salvation of some of the last examples of this kind of
habitat.
