Description: On July 17th, 2010, the Johann Christoph Gundlach Cuban Bird Banding Centre (CBBC) was officially opened. The CBBC is located at the Siboney-Jutic' Ecological Reserve (an Important Bird Area), managed by the Eastern Centre of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (BIOECO) in Santiago de Cuba. The main goals of this permanent banding centre are to study Cuban birds moult patterns, postnatal dispersion, sex ratios and life expectancy, to obtain survival estimates and to assess the importance of Cuban habitats for bird migration. BIOECO are also aiming to create a database to help ornithologists and conservationists from Cuba, the Caribbean basin and North America to better preserve this shared resource of birds. The initiative is part of Cuban efforts to implement the Caribbean Biological Corridor (together with Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and it is expected that in the future the CBBC will serve as a training facility for young ornithologists and conservationists from across the region.
