  1. International Programs Work for Migratory Birds • Forest Policy • Disaster Assistance • Technical Cooperation

  2. Bird Conservation Perspective • Landscapes—Ecoregions • Multiple Land Ownerships • Partnerships • Entrepreneurship • Scientifically & Ecologically based • International Action • Benefits to USA

  3. Protected Areas Management • Train Land Managers • Non-timber Forest Products • Nature-based Tourism

  4. Conservation Training • Low-impact Logging • Fire Management • Reforestation • Watershed Restoration • Neotropical Migratory Bird dInventory and Monitoring

  5. Reduced Impact Logging • Reduces risk of catastrophic fire • Retains more habitats for migratory birds • Train land managers • TFF

  6. Wildfire Problems: • Destroys habitat for migratory birds • Poor forest management increases risk • Watershed degradation results • Unpredictable loss of habitat Solutions: • Training for suppression, detection, dmonitoring • Provide equipment • Research on fire behavior

  7. Threats to the Boreal Forest • Oil and Gas Mineral Extraction • Forest Management • Agriculture • Hydroelectric Development

  8. Kirtland’s Warbler • Endangered Species • Estimated 900 pairs Worldwide • Restricted Range • Threats – Habitat Protection in Bahamas • $1.2 Million/year in North America

  9. Bicknells Thrush • Restricted winter range • Habitat loss in wintering areas • 10-20% of the world population occurs on the Green and White Mountain National Forests

  10. Swallow-tailed Kite • Migrates over 5000 miles • Consistent narrow migration corridor • 5000 individuals range-wide • Significant populations occur on National Forests • Deforested and parched lands during migration • Winters on Private Lands Data Courtesy of Avian Research and Conservation Institute

  11. Solutions: • Encourage shade-grown dcoffee and cacao production • Monitor forest loss • Provide technical assistance Coffee - Cacao Problems: • Deforestation to grow sun-dgrown coffee • Deforestation increasing • Loss of wintering habitat for migratory birds • 97% less use by birds in sun- dgrown coffee plantations

  12. Invasive Species Problems: • Destroys native habitats for migratory birds • Deforestation • Loss of native plant communities Solutions: • Integrated Pest Management Program • Exotic Forest Pest Information System • Biological Control • Programs in North America, Latin America, Japan, and China

  13. National Large Scale Watershed Restoration Projects

  14. North American Bird Conservation Initiative • North American Waterfowl dManagement Plan • Partners in Flight • U.S. Shorebird dConservation Plan • North American Waterbird Conservation Plan
