Integrated Migratory Bird Planning in the Lower Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Plain Bird Conservation Region

Abstract

The Atlantic Coast and Eastern Habitat Joint Ventures hosted two international planning workshops to begin the process of integrating bird conservation strategies under the North American Bird Conservation Initiative in the Lower Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Plain Bird Conservation Region. The workshops identified priority species and habitats, delineated focus areas, discussed population and habitat objectives, and began developing a long-term conservation plan. The objective of this effort is to provide a seamless, coordinated effort to deliver on-the-ground conservation for high priority species among the partners in the United States and Canada in the Lower Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Plain Bird Conservation Region.
