Abstract |
To address the request by the US-NABCI Committee, a workshop was held in the summer of 2009 to develop criteria that would realistically assess priority data management needs for the four major bird conservation partnerships. An assessment tool was built to determine their data management capabilities and is available for use by any organization. The four bird conservation partnerships used the tool to assess the costs of improving and maintaining the improvements for their highest priority data management systems. The identified priority databases are considered critical to inform management and conservation decisions at large geographic scales or populations levels. |
