Integrated population monitoring: detecting the effects of diverse changes

  • Chapter
Birds as Monitors of Environmental Change

Abstract

An important reason for monitoring populations of birds is that their conservation is important in its own right. It is important to have a sufficient knowledge of underlying population processes to determine the probable causes of any population decline so that steps can be taken to halt or even reverse it. The subsequent success, or otherwise, of any action taken should be monitored.
