The National Audubon Society's eastern forest conservation initiative: examining opportunities for bird conservation at a regional scale

Informally Refereed

Abstract

The forests of the east are under tremendous pressure from a variety of sources, including increasing development and fragmentation, declining air quality, declining water quality, and global climate change. Many priority bird species depend on these forested habitats, including a high percentage (75 percent) of neotropical migrant breeding species.
