Monitoring landbirds in national parks: understanding populations, migratory connectivity, and climate change (mp4)
Albert S. Monitoring landbirds in national parks: understanding populations, migratory connectivity, and climate change (mp4)
Many types of bird monitoring are able to track population changes, but few seek to get at the proximate causes of change, something that is essential in developing effective conservation goals and strategies. The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP) created the Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) Program in 1989 to monitor the demographics of North America’s landbirds. It is the longest-running and geographically broadest avian demographic monitoring program in the Americas. The National Park system has been an integral partner in this effort: 83 MAPS stations have operated in 36 national park sites, with an additional 563 stations on other public lands.
