Setting priorities for conservation, research and monitoring of Canada's landbirds / Erica H. Dunn.: CW69-5/293E-PDF
"This document provides the rationale behind a priority-setting system for Canadian landbirds, and gives a summary of results. All data and scores are housed in an accessible database for use by others. The database is intended to be a well-documented, flexible and updatable reference tool useful for helping to set priorities for research, management and monitoring of all landbirds that breed regularly in Canada. It contains information on two sets of criteria: those pertaining to "Supervisory Responsibility" (i.e. species most characteristic of a region), and those related to "Concern" (rarity, decline, etc.). Lists of results are included here both for the national and provincial level. Supervisory Responsibility lists are ready to use, but Concern lists should be refined further during the priority-setting process. We compare our scheme to existing systems, and give examples showing how the data can be used for a variety of purposes at different geographic scales"--Abstract, p. i.
