Abstract:Populations of many species of birds are declining worldwide from habitat loss and degradation and the effects of contamination, disease, and alien species. Effects have been great in California's Central Valley from the loss of over 90% of its historical wetland and riparian habitats. Conservation initiatives at various geographic scales have ranged from protecting and restoring habitats or ecosystems for broad suites of species to ones identifying individual declining and vulnerable taxa and spurring actions… Show more
“…Two papers present the processes used to set population and habitat objectives for conservation of birds in riparian (Dybala et al 2017b) and grassland-oak savannah ecosystems (DiGaudio et al 2017). Shuford and Hertel (2017) present a framework for setting objectives for at-risk species in the Central Valley. Finally, Dybala et al (2017a) offer a broad framework for setting quantitative objectives for wildlife conservation.…”
