The APIF Bird Conservation Plan:
- Identifies priority species and habitats
-
Establishes management objectives for bird
populations and habitats in Arizona
-
Currently addresses 43 priority species in
13 major habitats of the more than 280 breeding
bird species in Arizona
-
Associates species that will benefit from management
actions listed with each priority species
-
Recommends conservation actions
-
Identifies partnerships to accomplish the objectives
-
Identifies biological objectives in each habitat
to provide a target for ecological planning
and implementation, as well as a benchmark
for measuring success
-
Identifies habitat strategies to support the
population objectives and describe the condition,
amount and location of the habitat where management
is needed
-
Lists research and monitoring needs that directly
relate to the management needs
