U.S. NABCI Conservation Design Subcommittee

Charge

This Subcommittee was formed to help insure that all bird habitat joint ventures can operate effective, practicable, scientific processes to produce landscape-scale integrated analysis and strategies (i.e., decision support tools) that can help guide partners in the US in their efforts to conserve all priority birds and habitats.

The Subcommittee is currenlty bringing together the resources needed to re-assess the current status of conservation design and address the most challenging aspects of bird conservation science that continue to make application of bird conservation efforts inefficient.
