How many bird extinctions have we prevented? (2006, background): “This will require a combination of actions including: (1) research on distribution, population size and trends, ecology and threats; (2) monitoring; (3) identification of a network of key sites (Important Bird Areas; Fishpool & Evans, 2001); (4) safeguarding and managing these sites under a range of”
Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “This compilation includes Mozambique (Parker, 2001), Tanzania (Baker and Baker, 2001), Kenya (Bennun and Njoroge, 2001), Somalia (Anonymous, 2001), Madagascar (ZICOMA, 2001), Comoros (Safford, 2001a), the Seychelles (Rocamora and Skerret, 2001), Mauritius (Safford, 2001b), Reunion and Iles Eparses (”
Key Biodiversity Areas as Site Conservation Targets (2004, methodology): “For others—for example, colonially nesting species that disperse extensively during the nonbreeding season—site conservation may only be appropriate across some of their range or for parts of their life cycle (Fishpool and Evans 2001).”
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs): the development and characteristics of a global inventory of key sites for biodiversity (2018, background): “Continent-wide IBA inventories of Africa (Fishpool and Evans 2001) and Asia (BirdLife International 2004a) followed shortly after, then inventories for Australia (Dutson et al. 2009) and most of the Pacific (BirdLife International 2010a).”
Factoring species, non-species values and threats into biodiversity prioritisation across the ecoregions of Africa and its islands (2006, background): “Recent analyses have prioritised elements of these non-species values, identifying areas of intact habitat (Sanderson et al., 2002; Mittermeier et al., 2002), or important concentration and migration bottlenecks for birds (Fishpool and Evans, 2001).”
Applying global criteria to tracking data to define important areas for marine conservation (2016, background): “…assessments for Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas The Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) Programme, established by BirdLife International, uses objective and transparent criteria to define sites of key conservation importance at global and regional scales (Fishpool & Evans, 2001).”
FROM FOREST TO FARMLAND: HABITAT EFFECTS ON AFROTROPICAL FOREST BIRD DIVERSITY (2005, background): “We also grouped biome-restricted bird species (n 5 110 spp. within our sample), all confined to the Guinea–Congolian forest biome, extending from Gambia in the west to Rwanda in the East and Zambia in the South (see Fishpool and Evans 2001).”
Conservation planning and the IUCN Red List (2008, background): “Thus, initial identification of ‘Key forests for threatened birds in Africa’ (Collar & Stuart 1988) and ultimately of ‘Important Bird Areas in Africa and Associated Islands’ (Fishpool & Evans 2001) grew directly from the publication of ‘Threatened birds of Africa and related islands’ (Collar & Stuar”
Poor overlap between the distribution of Protected Areas and globally threatened birds in Africa (2011, background): “These data only recorded species present in sufficiently high numbers to trigger IBA designation of sites, meaning that the analysis was conservative in terms of false presences (Fishpool & Evans, 2001).”
