SCaMP: Upland Bird Monitoring Trends & Conservation Impact

Explore the future for birds in the uplands through SCaMP - a model demonstrating landscape-scale conservation delivery, restoring habitats, maximizing species diversity, and evaluating monitoring data. Learn about the ecological time lags, bird population trends, and the impact of SCaMP on habitat management. Discover the pivotal role of SCaMP in sustaining bird populations, enhancing ecosystem services, and reversing habitat loss in the Peak and Bowland regions.

  2. SCAMPThe Future for birds in the uplands Trend of large declines Demonstration Transferable model NE Upland Vision

  3. SCaMPWhy is it so special for birds? Whole farm approach

  4. SCaMPWhy is it so special for birds? Landscape scale conservation delivery

  5. SCaMPRestoring the jig-saw! Reversing centuries of woodland loss

  6. SCaMPRecreating habitat mosaics Sward structure Restoring hydrology Re-establishing scrub

  7. SCaMPBird objectives Sustainable not maximum populations Maximise species diversity Maximise range and quality of ecosystem service delivery

  8. SCaMPDoes it deliver what it says on the tin? Monitoring 2005, 2007, 2009 35 one kilometre squares Peak & Bowland

  9. SCaMPEcological time lags Most management changes occur post 2007

  10. SCaMPBird population trends Most follow national or regional trends Whinchat, ring ouzel declining in Bowland Curlew increasing in the Peak

  11. SCaMPBird population trends Deviance from national or regional trend Dunlin & golden plover increasing in the Peak Positive pre-SCaMP management Early indication of what to expect from SCaMP?

  12. SCaMPDetectable Changes Decline in sheep grazing Negative impact on carrion crows, Bowland Positive impact on skylark, Peak

  13. SCaMPTake home messages Scale & type of habitat management should deliver known ecological requirements Good base line data Ecological time lag Future monitoring essential UPLAND VISION
