This book was released on 2006 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

To focus & support habitat conservation & stewardship efforts, a suite of indicators at a range of scales is needed. This report represents a consolidation of a background information review & workshop project conducted to provide an overview of the state of habitat indicator development for wild Pacific salmon and to propose candidate indicators. After an introduction on the Wild Pacific Salmon Policy and the project study approach, chapter 2 presents an overview of Pacific salmon life history stages, habitat utilization, and relationships between salmon production & habitat characteristics. Chapter 3 summarizes previous activities related to development of salmon habitat indicators and frameworks for indicator selection. Chapter 4 contains a table of candidate indicators of habitat status. Chapter 5 lists data sources in British Columbia to support the candidate indicators. Chapter 6 briefly discusses several watershed-based programs related to wild Pacific salmon habitat & indicators. Chapter 7 is a summary of the salmon habitat indicator workshop findings; the full workshop report is appended.

Download or read book Firefly Wildlife Atlas written by John Farndon and published by Firefly Books. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, fact-filled atlas exploring animal habitats around the world for home or school. This beautiful book is from the producers of Firefly Encyclopedia of Animals, praised by Kirkus Reviews -the entries come from all over the world; some are common and others rare, but all are interesting in some way... for browsers and researchers alike, this is a useful and inviting display -- and a bargain.- Firefly Wildlife Atlas is similar but approaches the animal kingdom by means of habitat. It is also remarkable for its scope and presentation, covering almost 1000 animals in meticulous full-color illustrations and concise authoritative text. From millipedes to monkeys, this book offers a detailed and thorough guide to a wide array of the world's mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, as well as insects, spiders and other invertebrates. The atlas format shows regions and their habitats, for example, the African Grasslands has savanna in the Serengeti, bushveld in the south, and desert in the Sahara. Other regions may include one or more of tropical or temperate rainforest, woodland, wetland, tundra, polar and others. The regional maps present groups of native animals, such as browsers and foragers, birds of prey, reptiles and amphibians. Readers learn about the species and how they can co-exist in a single habitat. For example, one illustration shows how the physical characteristics of browsers and grazers allows them to eat from the same tree - an elephant's trunk grasps a tree's branches, leaves and fruit; a giraffe's long neck reaches the treetop's tender leaves; and a smaller eland uses its curved horns to break the tree's stiff lower branches. Firefly Wildlife Atlas also has encyclopedic A-Z spreads that show and describe a variety of species in one class of the animal kingdom, such as insects, reptiles, and birds. Special features cover topics like migration, seasonal change, cooperative predation, endangered species, and animal behavior. Packed with beautifully detailed illustrations and authoritative and accessible text, this is a book that is sure to open a young reader's eyes to the remarkable diversity of the animal kingdom and where they live.

The book features 7 new maps—4 in full color—and 30 striking sketches by bird artist Dale Dyer.Birders will find chapters covering topics from the prehistoric birds of the region to contemporary bird habitats and the ways in which current classification is being affected by DNA data and research. The species accounts themselves pay particular attention to date parameters and frequency of occurrence, details that are important to the active birder. Where applicable, full subspecies discussions are included.Meticulously prepared by the editor, Emanuel Levine, and the more than 70 members of the Federation who served as authors, this book will prove invaluable to birdwatchers statewide—whether backyard feeder watchers, casual birders, or dyed-in-the-wool enthusiasts.
