PRBO Conservation Science: Partners in Flight Desert Bird Conservation Plan: web-based regional focal species maps for the Mojave and Colorado deserts Objectives: (1) create interactive regional maps that include data for the Mojave and Colorado deserts outside of California for the fifteen focal species of the Desert Plan. Project Description: CalPIF has created a series of interactive, web-based focial species maps to compliment its bird conseravation plans. These mpas contain contemporary, by-species breeding status information for 83 focal speices, enabling the viewer to zoom in on site, select sites to obtain current breeding information, view current and historic range maps, and obtain additional site information and principal nvestigator contact information. The popular CalPIF focal species maps have proven to be an effective conservation tool to spur research interest in map "gaps", to expose local extirpations in areas assumed to host declining species, and to standardize California's approach to avian monitoring. This project will create similar maps for fifteen focal species from the Desert Bird Conservation Plan that occure in the Mojave and Colorado deserts outside of California, in the SJV region.
