Will, and D.A. Buehler, editors. Golden-winged Warbler Status Review and Conservation Plan. www.gwwa.org/ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Golden-winged Warbler Conservation Plan was developed and reviewed under the guidance of the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group, a consortium of more than 75 biologists and managers engaged in research and conservation of this species, www.gwwa.org/. Funding for the initiative was provided by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, with more than $1 million in matching contributions provided by numerous partner organizations including American Bird Conservancy, Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture, Audubon North Carolina, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Fundacion Proaves-Colombia, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Ithaca College, Michigan Technological University, University of Minnesota, University of Tennessee, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and The Ruffed Grouse Society.
