I don't think anyone has ever claimed that banding will itself halt any 
declines. I was under the impression it was about proving that there is a 
decline and where the birds routes and feeding grounds are.

Could anyone ever claim that a particular wetland deserves protection if they 
had no idea what effect its availability has on any species? Perhaps things 
would be far worse than they are without the data we have.
