The first step of the WHP is to sponsor a workshop/symposium that creates a forum for focused discussions on issues related to hummingbird conservation. The workshop will create a common understanding of the state of knowledge and conservation of hummingbirds and identify key actions and projects that will best use the available resources to advance hummingbird conservation issues. Products of this workshop will be the formation of a working group that will develop an action plan to address the project goals and the publication of the workshop proceedings.
The WHP workshop will be held in conjunction with the Cooper Ornithological Society (COS) annual meeting/conference in Tucson, Arizona from April 16-18. The WHP workshop will be held on April 16. During the morning, a hummingbird symposium will be held to create a common understanding of the state of knowledge of hummingbirds. In the afternoon, breakout session will be held to focus attention on conservation needs / issues of North American hummingbirds. On Friday April 17, we will synthesize the afternoon discussions and then present the information at an informal lunch meeting on Saturday, April 18.
