A Framework for Bird Conservation

The problems facing birds today are myriad and complex, requiring a far-reaching, bold vision for conservation. ABC has developed a unique and successful strategy to preserve bird diversity and maintain or increase wild bird populations.

ANNUAL REPORT 2009 3 Conservation Highlights SAFEGUARDING the RAREST

Over the course of 2009, ABC led or participated in more than 40 projects in the Western Hemisphere aimed at stabilizing or improving the populations of globally endangered bird species—with exciting results. Though many bird conservation projects require ten years or more to achieve a population change, conservation work with extremely rare species can yield positive results in a single season. Building on and sustaining these gains is a long-term ABC goal. The following are just a few of the endangered birds that benefitted from ABC’s work in 2009: Prairie Warbler: Greg Lavaty

In 2009, ABC helped its partners plant more than 860,000 native trees for reforestation in seven bird reserves throughout Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia, benefiting hundreds of migrant and endemic bird species. This included planting 81,000 Polylepis trees that are essential habitat for the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes and other Polylepis forest specialists.

By building plant nurseries and training staff, we have ensured that in 2010 and future years, we will continue to plant trees to restore and enhance habitat for birds, biodiversity, and local communities. Reforestation at El Paujil, Colombia, September 2009. Photo: Benjamin Skolnik

The toll on bird populations from bird mortality caused by human actions is incalculable. From the hundreds of millions of birds killed by free-roaming cats to the similar number killed by glass and night lighting on man-made structures to the often insidious effects of pesticides, ABC worked steadily in 2009 towards the long-term goal of eliminating these preventable deaths. Many results will be years in the making, but this year we are pleased to be able to report on several key victories: Cat with bird: Dean Mullin

ABC also began a program to test mitigation measures in real-world situations, beginning with a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at their National Conservation Training Center in West Virginia. The window film being tested has reduced observed bird kills there by 100%. In 2010, ABC is moving to conduct similar tests on other materials at the Philadelphia Zoo and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C.

• ABC helped win a lawsuit to prevent the City of Los Angeles from unofficially sanctioning feral cat colo- nies and the practice of Trap Neuter Release. Now, the city must conduct a full evaluation of the impact of these colonies on the environment, which includes the threat to birds from these introduced predators.

ABC had advocated for the ban and supported EPA in fighting pressure from the manufacturer to keep the chemical on the market. Through efforts by ABC and other organizations, and support from the Wallace Genetic Foundation, Turner Foundation, and New York Community Trust, cancellations and restrictions on pesticide use, including carbofuran, have caused bird deaths from pesticide poisonings to drop dramatically, from an estimated 67 million birds per year in 1992 to per- Bobolink: Alan Wilson haps fewer than 15 million per year today.
