IMPLEMENTATION Golden-winged Warbler Working Group The Golden-winged Warbler Working Group was founded in 2003 and is comprised of over 133 United States, Canadian, and Latin American ornithologists, conservationists, and managers from academia, federal and state agencies, international non-governmental organizations, and industry. Their mission is to ensure the conservation of Golden-winged Warbler populations through sound science, education, and management. The Golden-winged Warbler Working Group members will play a pivotal role in continuing to conduct research, leading monitoring efforts, and Golden-winged Warbler Working Group Objectives Canadian Recovery Team The Canadian Golden-winged Warbler Recovery Team was founded in 2009 and is comprised of representatives from the federal and provincial governments, and non-governmental organizations. The main objectives of the team are to produce a recovery strategy, guide the implementation of the strategy, report on progress and success of recovery efforts, and establish project priorities by providing biological advice on how to best recover the Golden-winged Warbler as guided by SARA. The team estimates to have a draft strategy ready for public review mid-2012. 3–82 implementing the following conservation actions. Working Group activities can be followed at www.gwwa.org/. In Canada, the Golden-winged Warbler is listed as Threatened on Schedule 1 of the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA), which necessitates the preparation of a recovery strategy and action plan. Thus, the Canadian members of the Working Group have a separate mandate necessitated by Canadian law, which presents additional opportunities for collaboration and integration with this plan. 1. Increase awareness of Golden-winged Warbler conservation status throughout its range. 2. Identify gaps in knowledge and develop priorities for coordinated Golden-winged Warbler research and management. 3. Develop and implement a conservation plan for Golden-winged Warbler that includes research, education, management, regional coordination, and monitoring. 4. Develop a mechanism for information sharing and conservation action follow-through. The recovery team uses information gathered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) to begin developing a recovery strategy. The recovery strategy sets out the population and distribution objectives, identifies threats to the survival of the species and the broad approaches to address these threats, identifies the species’ critical habitat, if possible, and sets time lines for the preparation of an action plan. The recovery strategy is currently in draft form and will be posted as a final document to the Species at Risk Public Registry upon completion. The draft population and distribution objective is
to maintain the Golden-winged Warbler population at its current range of abundance (approximately 19,000 to 50,000 pairs (COSEWIC 2006)) in Canada and to maintain the areas where minimal overlap occurs with Blue-winged Next Steps Development of this conservation plan does not guarantee implementation. Many conservation actions need to be stepped down into specific tasks so as to implement each action. Specific partners need to be identified to be accountable for the implementation of these tasks and other components of this plan. At a minimum, the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group, Wildlife Management Institute, and other key partners should work together under the objectives of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Early Successional Business Plan to make habitat recommendations compatible and consistent across all focal areas, and ensure, when appropriate, that implementation strategies and management activities consider all associated species. Further, given the strong interest in ESH by a large number of potential researchers and land 3–83 Warblers within the Canadian range, while allowing continuing range expansion and contraction; and genetically pure populations where they occur within this range. managers, an organized effort should be made to update National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Early Successional Business Plan to help guide future work and funding. The need to step down the plan by identifying management sites and conservation strategies in each state is an important agency process that the Goldenwinged Warbler Working Group should assist with in the future. This plan is a dynamic document that will require periodic reviews and updates. We propose an initial national review and associated workshop in 2015. Keeping the conservation planning process fluid will allow for incorporation of new science and provide information useful to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in making decisions about listing the species under the Endangered Species Act. Further, we suggest that periodic reviews be coordinated with the 5-year Canadian recovery plan review process as required by SARA.
