The 2012 Partners in Flight (PIF) Population Assessment Database is a companion to PIF’s Saving Our Shared Birds: Tri-National Vision for Landbird Conservation report, which was published in 2010 and expanded upon the seminal North American Landbird Conservation Plan (2004). This work provides a continental synthesis of priorities and objectives to help guide landbird conservation actions at national and international scales.
The Plan’s Species Assessment Database included 448 native landbirds when it was first published in 2004. It now includes 462 species of native and non-native landbirds that regularly breed in the U.S. and Canada. Among other things, the Plan identifies those landbirds that are of continental importance for conservation actions. PIF recognizes three overlapping categories of species that have continental conservation importance. Those identified as Watch List species have multiple reasons for conservation concern across their entire range. PIF has also developed a list of Stewardship Species to stress the importance of stewardship and conservation responsibilities for those species that have a high proportion of their global population or range in a single biome within North America. PIF’s first tri-national assessment in 2010 identified 148 bird species in need of immediate conservation attention because of their highly threatened and declining populations, 24 of which breed in temperate-zone forests, grasslands, and aridland habitats in Canada and the United States. PIF identified these species as high priorities in the 2004 Landbird Conservation Plan, and they all continue to warrant immediate tri-national conservation action to prevent further declines.
