DEVELOPING MANAGEMENT TARGETS FOR GRASSLAND BIRDS Much of the remaining native mixed-grass prairie is managed by private landowners. As a result, conservation practitioners primarily rely on incentive-based stewardship programs to conserve grassland habitat. Results-based conservation is a growing initiative in Prairie Canada whereby livestock producers receive funding if their management creates or enhances habitat for species of conservation concern. A critical component of the program is developing meaningful management targets that will enhance and maintain suitable habitat for species of conservation concern and that producers can measure and manage for in order to receive funding once they achieve those targets. The primary objective of this project is to develop reliable management targets for grassland songbird species at risk; Reliable management targets will be identified for each species and region, establishing such management targets for conservation agencies and livestock producers has great potential to strategically improve habitat conditions and ultimately help to recover grassland songbirds in the long term...Species that will benefit include: Sprague's pipit, Baird's sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, McCown's longspur, chestnut-collared longspur, lark bunting, western meadowlark and bobolink...

IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE & ADVANCING CONS FOR Boreal forest birds have experienced a 33% population loss since 1970, amounting to 500 million birds lost. Changing forest conditions and direct harm to birds and nests from commercial forestry are considered important contributing factors to the decline. The proposed project addresses priority conservation actions for eight target Neotropical migratory bird (NMB) species that breed in Ontario's Boreal and adjoining forest regions and is located in important Boreal and adjoining forest breeding habitat that supports relatively high NMB densities but is exposed in some areas to direct and indirect threats from industrial activities. Much of this area is under-surveyed with respect to bird populations, due to the difficulty of access and need for specialized surveys. Partners primary objectives are to 1) increase the data available on the target NMB species for improved species conservation and management in 2,500,000 acres of Ontario's Boreal and adjoining forest regions, and 2) identify and protect 1,000,000 acres of priority target NMB habitat in areas exposed to industry threats. The project will benefit the target NMBs through improved understanding of their distribution, abundance, and breeding locations in a core area of their breeding range, as well as through habitat protection and industry threat reduction.

CONS OF STRATEGIC PROPERTIES & CAPACITY Appalachian Corridor's mission is to protect biodiversity through private land stewardship in partnership with its Affiliate Members (local non-governmental conservation organizations), Nature Conservancy Canada, and local municipalities. This project focuses on habitat protection and capacity building. The protection aspect aims to complete at least 10 projects to protect a minimum of 1,100 acres in perpetuity via notarized deeds. Located in Quebec's Northern Green Mountains natural transborder corridor, several of the targeted properties are strategically located in core areas of unfragmented forest (each >11,000 acres and often >25,000 acres), while the others are either located in linkage corridors or biodiversity hotspots. Protection targets represent crucial links to maintain global connectivity between our largest forest cores, from the Sutton Mountains core up to the Mt-Orford National Park. All targeted tracts feature a variety of habitats suitable for Neotropical migratory birds, stream salamanders and wide-ranging mammals, including interior forests, wetlands and riparian corridors. Capacity building activities will be delivered mainly by affiliate members (local conservation groups) and municipalities and will include training sessions and partnerships activities on land stewardship and protection projects.

Currently, 584 landowners participate in the Stewards of Saskatchewan programs, conserving approximately 194,920 acres of grassland, and 78 miles of shoreline habitat for bird species at risk. The project's objectives are to conserve habitat for multiple bird species of conservation concern through voluntary stewardship agreements and actions; promote legally-binding conservation easements; develop site-specific Species at Risk Beneficial Management Practices plans with land managers; increase, enhance and monitor target bird species' habitat; monitor the populations at participating sites through an annual census of program participants' lands; and provide environmental and conservation outreach to agricultural producers as well as to youth and others. In this phase, the project will set up agreements on about 8,000 acres new to the program; develop site-specific Species at Risk Beneficial Management Practices plans for over 9,000 acres under stewardship agreements; enhance over 150 acres; promote legally-binding conservation easements. ..Species that will benefit include: Baird's Sparrow, long-billed curlew, marbled godwit, McCown's longspur, short-eared owl, and upland sandpiper..
