Migratory bird habitat priorities - Prairie Provinces / prepared by the Habitat Management Section, Western and Northern Region, Canadian Wildlife Service.: CW66-669/1979E-PDF

"Since 1966, the Western and Northern Region has carried out a habitat protection program which featured the acquisition of specific waterfowl areas and a wetland easement program intended to protect small wetlands on private farm lands. In 1975 the wetland easement program was terminated and in recent years land acquisition activities have been more or less inactive. At the present time, both Nationally and in the Region, the habitat programs are under review and new directions for the program are being formulated. This document is intended to provide the planning base upon which new habitat initiatives can be built. Its main objectives are to define important migratory bird habitat areas on the broadest possible basis by considering all migratory bird values and to set priorities exclusively on an areas values to migratory birds. Many other factors such as the threat of habitat destruction must be taken into consideration when setting long term goals for the protection and/or management of priority habitat areas but this will be dealt with as part of the long-term regional habitat plan and not in this report"--Introduction, page 1.
