Comprehensive Conservation Plan


Book Description

To secure lands for migratory birds, the United States Congress established the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to acquire lands for conservation, to maintain acquired lands for habitat preservation, and to fund expenses necessary for the administration, development, and maintenance of such areas. Associated activities include construction of dams, dikes, ditches, spillways, and flumes for improving habitat and mitigation of pollution threats to waterfowl and migratory birds. The refuges protect habitat with primarily two tools: fee-title ownership and conservation easements.

Strategies for Bird Conservation


Book Description

This volume represents a compilation of papers presented at the 3rd International Partners in Flight Workshop held October 1-5, 1995, at the Grand Hotel in Cape May, NJ. The title of the workshop was 'Partners in Flight Conservation Plan: Building Consensus for Action.' Manuscripts have been available on-line at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology web site (http://birds.cornell.edu/pifcapemay) since the year 1999, and the majority of them have been updated recently to reflect knowledge available by the 2000 publication date. The volume is divided into seven sections that range from general planning considerations to a case study in bird conservation planning. References from all papers are compiled in a single 'References' section at the end of the volume.

Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment


Book Description

Bear Butte National Wildlife Refuge was established as a limited-interest refuge in the late 1930s with the acquisition of easements from private landowners, the state of South Dakota, and the War Department (now transferred to the Bureau of Land Management at Ft. Meade) to maintain an area for "migratory bird, wildlife conservation, and other purposes." The refuge is 374.20 easement acres and has no fee title.
