Abstract:

Loss of habitats threatens bird populations worldwide. In the 1980s, Birdlife International began a program to identify and protect important bird areas in Europe. The program reached the United States in 1995, and North Carolina launched its program in 1998. To date nearly 90 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) have been designated across the state. Though no legal protection is granted by IBA recognition, still it is a blueprint for wildlife conservation.

Sharpe, Terry

Abstract:

Since the mid-20th-century, small game, including quail and rabbits, has been declining in the state. To stem this loss, the North Carolina Division of Wildlife and Management established a program called CURE, or Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement. Pipkin and Sharpe discuss the program's progress on game lands, including Sandhills, Suggs Mill Pond, South Mountain, and on public lands.

Abstract:

In areas hit hard by storms, including Hurricane Hugo, the population of red-cockaded woodpeckers has declined. This is because the storms wreaked havoc on live, old trees, which the woodpeckers need to build their nest cavities. Now a simple nesting device developed by North Carolina Wildlife Commission non-game biologist David Allen is helping the population recover.

Barick, Frank B.

Abstract:

In recent years there has been a demand from North Carolina hunters for more big game in the state. In this article Barick discusses the three objectives of North Carolina's big game restoration program and the methods by which they will be accomplished. The objectives are to increase the supply of big game in the state, principally deer at the program's start; to create more refuges and public hunting grounds; and to develop more efficient big game management techniques.

Abstract:

In the early 1950s, the carp population in Lake Mattamuskeet was destroying natural waterfowl food-plants which were necessary for migratory birds that winter at the lake. Cahoon discusses the removal of the carp, the prevention of their reentry into the lake, and the effects of the removal.

Abstract:

Between 1992 and 2001, in coastal waters from New Jersey to North Carolina, 210 bottlenose dolphins were killed by becoming entangled in gill nets used by fishermen. The dolphins become entangled either by accidentally running into the nets or by being caught while eating the fishing catch. Angione reports on a study funded by the North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant program to study whether acoustic alarms can keep the dolphins away from the gill nets.

In June 1969, the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base received the Secretary of Defense Conservation Award, which is presented annually to the armed forces installation which has organized the best program for conservation of natural resources. In 1969, 241 military installations competed for the award. The wildlife management program includes food plots, small game strips, plantings for doves, experimental woody stock plantings, green-tree duck impoundment, and predator control.

Abstract:

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has changed its big game reporting system for the for the 1972-1973 hunting season. Previously a compulsory big game tagging system was in effect for all big game killed on the Wildlife Commission's Game Lands, but did not furnish information on big game killed off the game lands. Dean discusses how the new system, a statewide voluntary tagging program, will work.

Abstract:

The prime objective of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's game lands program is to provide more hunters with more lands where they are free to go whenever the seasons are open. Amundson describes the program's eastern section, which is located in the Coastal Plains and covers over 664,512 acres that are under intensive wildlife management.
