Integrated Bird Conservation along the Pacific Coast of North America: An Action Agenda

Abstract

Scientists and managers representing the continental bird conservation plans explored the status of conservation planning and implementation for birds along the Pacific coast of North America. The theme of the session, "using common currencies to advance bird conservation," emphasized the components of bird conservation shared among the major initiatives, such as Bird Conservation Region coordinators, species, habitats, partnerships, funding opportunities, and Adaptive Conservation Planning. A primary goal of the session was to develop a conservation action agenda, agreed to by all participants. Types of action items identified include developing new modes of outreach to non-traditional partners, prioritizing funding needs, identifying new sources of funding, and integrating planning and partnerships among the four continental bird conservation plans.
