Bird Conservation: A Vision for Getting Data to Wildlife Managers (Williams, USGS/CRU)

The data management needs of the bird conservation community are immense. With dozens of groups from all sectors involved in bird conservation and population monitoring, the need to develop easily accessible databases that all of the partners can access is paramount to the success of bird conservation. Likewise, bird conservation is an important starting place for conservation agencies to build meaningful data systems that address the needs of wildlife managers at the ground level. The vision for successful wildlife management must include successful data management. The question remains, how do we coordinate the information needs of state, federal, and NGO partners who all share a significant stake in successful bird conservation? This presentation will offer a vision of how partners can overcome the obstacles to sharing the information critical to conservation success.
