Earth tones-- : the book : federal science for sustainable development earthtonesbookfe00cana Year: 2000 ^^^ Canadians Pitching In Wildlife watchers Environment Canada Every year near Christmas, while Santa is making his list, birders in 80 cities and towns across Ontario spend one day making a list of their own. These volunteers in the hundred-year-old Christmas Bird Count diligently watch for and count birds in their neighbourhoods to gather information about bird populations. The Christmas Bird Count is just one of the Wildlife Watchers projects the Canadian Wildlife Service draws data from. The projects, which involve thousands of volunteers across Ontario, are designed to be as effective as possible while still being interesting and enjoyable. All are scientifically rigorous, meaning that the valuable data collected can be used to measure population status and trends to help define appropriate conservation actions and assess the success of conservation initiatives. These projects are entirely dependent on volunteers,' says Mike Cadman, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ontario Region. 'Canada is such a huge expanse of land, there is no way professionals can monitor everything, so we rely on birders, with their tremendous field skills, to fill in the gaps.' ( 24 )
