Resource Abstract:
- description: The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation s Pacific Seabird Program will yield unprecedented gains in the conservation
status of ten nationally imperiled seabird species, and improve population conditions for more than 50 additional seabird
species in five large geographies across the Pacific Ocean. This aggressive investment in seabirds by NFWF is already leveraging
significant new funding for seabird conservation in the Pacific. Collectively between NFWF and partners, a total investment
of at least $40 million over the next 5-6 years will notably improve the conservation status for dozens of seabirds and other
endemic and critically endangered island plants and animals. Key actions identified in the business plan will restore focal
seabird populations by reducing threats to both island breeding colonies and birds at sea. The program includes a series of
strategic actions necessary to reverse declining population trends by increasing breeding success and survival rates and enhancing
awareness and protective actions to benefit seabirds. This plan expands upon the initial accomplishments and direction of
the existing NFWF Seabird Keystone Initiative and will focus on four, broad geographic locations in the Pacific: Alaska, the
California Current, Chilean Islands (used by birds of national interest) and Hawaiian Islands. In addition, a limited initial
investment will be made on United States lands and territories in the Western/Central Pacific to increase much-needed understanding
of threats and seabird resources; this region will not be initially treated as a focal geography. The strategies will focus
on mitigating impacts to the most imperiled species (e.g., seabird species protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,
U.S. Endangered Species Act, or listed as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered under the International Union for
the Conservation of Nature s [IUCN] Red List of Threatened Animals) and island systems supporting unique suites of declining
seabirds or are of importance to regional seabird populations.; abstract: The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation s Pacific
