Dear MOU Members:
July 9 is the deadline for early registration and for making group rat=
e
room reservations for the Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Workshop
planned for August 10-12 in Siren, Wisconsin. Please visit the worksho=
p
website at http://www.grantsburg.k12.wi.us/gwwa/ for details.
The Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Workshop is designed for biologi=
sts,
researchers, conservation planners, managers, and for anybody intereste=
d in
improving the status of Golden-wings, whether you work for a state or
federal agency, conservation NGO, academic or research institution, loc=
al
planning or management unit, or private industry. Concerned citizens a=
nd
birders are also encouraged to attend.
This will be the first workshop focused solely on Golden-winged Warbler=
s
throughout the entire range of the species, including the wintering gro=
unds
in Central America and northwestern South America. We will have
representatives from the neotropics with us to help us plan a comprehen=
sive
conservation strategy for the species. The workshop will feature a fie=
ld
trip to important GWWA habitats in Minnesota and Wisconsin and opportui=
ties
for on-the-spot discussions of pratical management actions that would
benefit GWWAs in these habitats.
This is a workshop you will not want to miss! For those unfamiliar wit=
h
the conservation planning/implementation continuum, the workshop will
provide a complete overview of the entire process as well as an opportu=
nity
to explore some of the details of continental assessment, identificatio=
n of
reasons for decline, genetics, population and habitat modeling, definit=
ion
of research priorities, management scenarios, conservation action, and
evaluation and monitoring. Most importantly, the workshop will provide=
the
background and the opportunity for participants to help draft an action=
plan for Golden-wings within the context of all-bird conservation. Th=
e
processes and skills employed in the workshop should serve as a model f=
or
similar actions for other species.
Plan now to attend! And remember: Minnesota hosts an estimated 42% of =
the
global population of Golden-winged Warblers during the breeding season,=
so
our state is especially important to the conservation of this declining=
species.=
