Sorenson, Clyde

Abstract:

A big challenge in bird conservation is determining how many birds in a given species exist and whether that population is increasing or decreasing. Sorenson discusses the Bird Radio System, developed by Ted Simons, a North Carolina State University ornithologist, to help with this challenge.

Angione, Kathleen

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.

Earley, Lawrence S.

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.

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:

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.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's program to promote black bear, turkey, and deer populations has been phenomenally successful. Now the agency is starting a five-year program called Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement, or CURE. Powell describes the program which will promote small-game populations like quail.
