Sue Taylor on Avian Conservation Programs/Black Stilts and Braided Rivers

["michael norris" <>]

On Wednesday I mentioned a thought-provoking article by Penny Olsen.

The reference is "Setting Conservation Priorities: A Time to Choose", 
Wingspan, 10, 4, (December 2000), 18-24.
It has a wonderful mix of passion for species conservation coupled with an 
outline of an objective approach to deciding whether to spend on saving 
particular species.
It was my first introduction to "ecological triage" and I reckon it is still 
very relevant.
This is despite the focus of debate shifting, for example with Peter Garrett 
giving priority to ecosystem, rather than species, protection (see Sean 
Dooley's "Is the Threatened Species Concept, the next Threatened Species?" 
(Wingspan, 19, 4, December 2009).
