The state\u2019s largest lake, Lake Cuitzeo, falls within Ac\u00e1mbaro\u2019s jurisdiction, and is home to two endangered species \u2013 the Aztec quail and the Black-polled yellowthroat &#8212; as well as 47 species of waterfowl.<\/p><p>Five more pairs of binoculars went to Mexican youth involved in Ecochavos, a volunteer organization within the Sierra Gorda Biosphere reserve involving high-school students and their teachers. Ecochavos monitors endangered bird species in the 2,000-square-kilometre biosphere, including five Golden eagle nests and critical habitat of the Military macaw.<\/p><p>\u201cWe desperately need this equipment,\u201d says Ecochavos organizer Maru Gonsalez, who works for the federally protected reserve. \u201cIt has been extremely difficult to undertake our monitoring and educational activities without them.
