Decision Support Tools
Bird Conservation Decision Support Tools (DSTs) transfer science-based information to communities who implement strategies that benefit birds and their habitats. Such DSTs link priority land management challenges and bird conservation objectives using audience-specific delivery approaches to convey the best available scientific information through synthesis and interpretation of bird monitoring data.
See the links to the right under Decision Support Menu for the different types of DSTs available.
For more information about DSTs and bird conservation see the manuscript Decision Support Tools: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Management.
Using a Partners in Flight Plan
A Partners in Flight (PIF) plan can be used at any stage of land management. Based on your objective there are regional conservation plans and species-specific plans. Each plan varies based on the needs of the habitat or species and the available science.
