CONSERVATION ACTION FOR CERULEAN WARBLER Nearly 100% of Canadas Cerulean Warbler population (approximately 500 pairs) breeds in two areas in Ontario: ..the Frontenac Arch and the Carolinian Region. The Frontenac Arch supports Canadas largest population ..(over 300 pairs) and is the only remaining area with extensive tracts of mature deciduous forest upon which the ..species depends. The Carolinian Region supports a smaller but significant Canadian population (80 pairs) in the ..remnant Carolinian Forest in southern Ontario. This area is under the immediate threat of forest destruction and ..fragmentation from active timber harvest and the region is identified, in the Management Plan for the Cerulean ..Warbler in Canada, as a high conservation priority. The proposed project aims to immediately improve the Cerulean ..Warblers conservation status in Canada, focusing primarily on the Carolinian Region where the species is most ..threatened, but also working with stakeholders in the Frontenac Arch to ensure this population remains stable. ..Project objectives are to: 1) work with landowners in the Carolinian Region, to reduce threats and to conserve or ..enhance habitat for Cerulean Warbler and other mature forest-dependant birds at risk; 2) work with partners to ..maintain or enhance the habitat available for Cerulean Warbler and; 3) implement a long-term recovery monitoring ..to identify threats, to prioritize sites for conservation, to track recovery and to monitor project success.

Monitoring & Securing Critical Habitat F Since 1989, Operation Grassland Community (OGC) has worked in collaboration with stakeholders to restore and ..adaptively manage native prairie for the benefit of endemic prairie birds while supporting diverse socio-economic ..interests. In the past four years (2013-2016), they implemented a ranch-wide monitoring and adaptive management ..methodology called Land EKG on 10 large ranches across Albertas grassland region in areas of medium-high ..suitability for Spragues pipits and other prairie endemics and their work in 2014-16 was funded in part by the ..NMBCA, enabling them to add 7 new ranches to an initial 2013 pilot project on three ranches. In 2017-2018 they will ..intensify adaptive management work on 10 of these ranches, 1 new ranch has been added in 2016 with 3 ..additional ranches to be added in 2017 for a total of 14 ranches. In addition to grazing management strategies, ..partners will actively improve habitats through removal of encroaching shrubs, employment of moveable fencing ..projects, and reseeding of previously cultivated lands to native grasses. Through resulting improvements and ..increases to habitat quality/quantity, they will effectively increase utilizable patch sizes to the recommended ..minimum of 360 acres, thus decreasing fragmentation effects on breeding pipits. These activities successfully ..address causes of the main threats to Spragues pipits of habitat loss and degradation.
