Rose, and Haydon Rochester, Jr. 3 PURPOSE AND GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE CONSERVATION STRATEGY FOR THE PIPING PLOVER (CHARADRIUS MELODUS) IN ITS COASTAL MIGRATION AND WINTERING RANGE IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AND DRAFT REVISED RECOVERY PLAN FOR THE WINTERING RANGE OF THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS POPULATION This document synthesizes conservation needs across the shared coastal migration and wintering ranges of the federally listed Great Lakes (endangered), Atlantic Coast (threatened), and Northern Great Plains (threatened) piping plover (Charadrius melodus) populations. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2009 5-Year Review recommended development of a Comprehensive Conservation Strategy (CCS) to enhance collaboration among recovery partners and address widespread habitat loss and degradation, increasing human disturbance, and other threats in the piping plover’s coastal migration and wintering range. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill further increased concerns regarding piping plover conservation in the non- breeding portion of the range. This CCS provides a unified summary of the biology, habitat, and threats to non-breeding piping plovers. It also identifies the planning, coordination, protection, and research actions needed to reduce threats to non-breeding piping plovers and their habitat. With the incorporation of delisting criteria that address the recovery of the Northern Great Plains population (see pages 8-9 of the Executive Summary and pages 69-72 for a discussion of the winter criteria) and an Implementation Schedule, this CCS also becomes the wintering portion of the revised Northern Great Plains Piping Plover Recovery Plan. It is maintained as a separate volume, however, in order to serve as a unified resource for biologists, land managers, regulators, and others seeking to conserve all non-breeding piping plovers. The primary geographic focus of this CCS is the United States (U.S.) coastal non-breeding range of the piping plover from North Carolina to Texas. While we recognize that piping plover protection in Mexico and the Caribbean is very important, this document only provides cursory information about the non-U.S. wintering range. Piping plover conservation actions in other countries are strongly encouraged, and parallel planning documents may be warranted. Current information indicates that piping plovers do not concentrate in large numbers or make extended stopovers at inland migration sites outside of their breeding range. Although conservation planning for inland migration habitats, currently considered a lower priority due to the low numbers of birds concentrating at specific sites, numerous wind energy projects have been proposed throughout the migration corridor. Given the unknown level of risk to piping plovers associated with wind farms, or if other existing or foreseeable threats during inland migration are identified, assessment of threats during migration can be re-evaluated. 1 VOLUME II: Draft Revised Recovery Plan for the Wintering Range of the Northern Great Plains Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) and Comprehensive Conservation Strategy for the Piping Plover in its Coastal Migration and Wintering Range in the Continental United States RELATIONSHIP OF THIS DOCUMENT TO THE GREAT LAKES AND ATLANTIC COAST RECOVERY PLANS Implementation of actions described in this CCS will support attainment of relevant reclassification and delisting criteria contained in the approved USFWS piping plover recovery plans for the Great Lakes and Atlantic Coast populations (USFWS 1996; 2003). The pertinent tasks in those recovery plans are cross-referenced in Appendix 4W. 2 VOLUME II: Draft Revised Recovery Plan for the Wintering Range of the Northern Great Plains Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) and Comprehensive Conservation Strategy for the Piping Plover in its Coastal Migration and Wintering Range in the Continental United States ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Hundreds of biologists from all levels of government, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions, as well as unaffiliated individuals have provided important information reflected in this conservation strategy. Although they are too many to name individually, we cannot overstate the value of their generous contributions. We also recognize the collective on- going efforts to conserve piping plovers throughout their range. * * * DISCLAIMER: This document describes actions to address threats and conservation needs for piping plovers.

  • Pressrelease TAKE IT EASY
    Press Release, August 2019 TAKE IT EASY Opening Sunday, September 1st, 2019, 12 - 3 pm September 4 until October 26, 2019 Pia Ferm, Lukas Glinkowski, Julia Gruner, Antje Zeiher The works by Pia Ferm (*1986, Lysekil, Sweden), Lukas Glinkowski (*1984, Chelmno, Poland), Julia Gruner (*1984, Lüdenscheid) and Antje Zeiher (*1979, Reutlingen) question the boundaries of painting. Not only is the canvas often missing as the carrier of the color itself, but painting is also redefined and blurs in the sculptural, the handicrafts, or as objet trouvé. st In the group exhibition TAKE IT EASY, starting September 1 , 2019, Galerie Judith Andreae is showing four young 'painterly' positions that approach the themes of painting, color and materiality in a variety of ways. Subjectively selected works by the artists show what painting can express nowadays. The group exhibition can be seen in the gallery rooms until October 26, 2019. The Swedish artist Pia Ferm has been studying in the class of Tobias Rehberger at the Städelschule in Frankfurt since 2014, after preliminary studies at the Valand Academy in Gothenburg. Her works shown in the exhibition are hand-tufted, large- format tapestries. The colorfulness and gestural expression of Pia Ferm's works are reminiscent of painting, but the relief created by tufting is more comparable withs sculptures. Her work process always begins with a sketch and a series of watercolor works in the second step, before the third step is the modern way of knotting with Pia Ferm, Holly was baptized in the corridore,2019, Handtufted woolen tapestry, 185 x 118 cm. wool threads.

  • Experiment in the Film
    sh. eitedbyM&l MANVOX EXPERIMENT IN THE FILM edited by Roger Manveil In all walks of life experiment precedes and paves the way for practical and widespread development. The Film is no exception, yet although it must be considered one of the most popular forms of entertainment, very little is known by the general public about its experimental side. This book is a collec- tion of essays by the leading experts of all countries on the subject, and it is designed to give a picture of the growth and development of experiment in the Film. Dr. Roger Manvell, author of the Penguin book Film, has edited the collection and contributed a general appreciation. Jacket design by William Henry 15s.
