The Cayuga Bird Club will hold their monthly meeting next Monday, April 11 at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Cookies and conversation will begin at 7:15. Our speaker, Jillian Liner, Director of Bird Conservation, Audubon New York will present -- "Audubon New York’s Important Bird Areas Program –Protection for Critical Sites". New York’s Important Bird Areas (IBA) Program strives to identify the most critical sites in the state for birds and then works towards their protection and proper management. To date, 12,000 IBAs have been identified on 6 continents and in 156 countries. The IBA network in NY has provided a solid foundation upon which to build conservation efforts aimed at protecting the full diversity of avian species in the state. Recent conservation projects to protect priority birds at IBAs will be discussed. Jillian Liner is the Director of Bird Conservation for Audubon NY based at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, NY. She has 20 years’ experience in the conservation field and has been with Audubon since 2001. At Audubon, Jillian oversees the Important Bird Area (IBA) program and assists with implementing habitat management, advocacy, outreach and other land protection efforts. She co-authored Important Bird Areas of New York: Habitats Worth Protecting and works closely with state and federal partners, other NGOs, and Audubon Chapters to increase the protection of IBAs and other critical habitat areas. ____________________________________________________________ Wall Street Daily Peter Schiff: China Just Armed its Financial Missile http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/57085cfc9b0e5cfb2665st01duc --
