Editorial
Why continue to collect bird specimens? In the previous editorial, Robert Prys-Jones discussed the importance of museum bird collections for research, and the direct bond between research and conservation. Now I want to go to the question of why is it important to continue collecting? Of course, I am speaking of the responsible scientific collection, in which skins are prepared with complete and correct data and deposited in institutions whose cataloguing requirements, maintenance and access stipulated by the Ministry of the Environment are fulfilled. There are many bird enthusiasts, and many ornithologists with little contact with collections, who are against scientific collecting. Nevertheless there are good reasons to justify the continuation and intensification of responsible scientific collecting. In the United States, 15,000 birds are collected annually. Annual mortality figures that man inflicts to bird populations are as follows; vehicle hits on highways = 10,000,000; structure hits (buildings, windows, TV electrical towers, fencings etc.) = 2,000,000; sports hunting = 5,000,000; domestic animals (specially cats) = 5,000,000; contamination and poisons (including agrochemicals) = 1,000,000... and this did not quantify the damage caused by the destruction of habitat due to the urban, suburban and agricultural development. From all these sources of mortality, the only one that can benefit the birds is scientific collections, through the increase of our knowledge of the species.

Project Appleseed Free Computers for Schools State Volunteer Recognition Event To Be Held With 2002 Forum Bill Umscheid A small task group of salaried and volunteer staff met recently for follow-up discussions about volunteer recognition. The group's task was to review and reconfirm the newly developed volunteer recognition categories, make recommendations for use at the county level, simplify the application process in any ways possible and make recommendations for handling recognition in years when there is no forum. The group did review the recognition categories and felt they were appropriate for continued use. Some ideas were generated for marketing the recognition system and clarifying the criteria for judging applications. These changes will be made to the information available on the Kentucky 4-H home page.

Chapter 7: Strategic Objectives
Lancashire is a complex patchwork of interwoven communities that accommodates the very urban and the deep rural within relatively close proximity.  The economic and social relationships between the various communities in Lancashire are equally complex and historically it has been difficult to provide a focus for rural development outside the rural priority areas around the Forest of Bowland AONB.  Consequently Lancashire’s rural assets have not yet realised their potential and as such are regarded by the Lancashire Rural Partnership as under utilised and capable of contributing significantly more to future development. Rural Development funding has been highly targeted and arguably fragmented in its delivery.  The absence of a coherent framework or mechanism for managing local development has resulted in overly bureaucratic management arrangements that can hinder local delivery and dilute local impact.  Large parts of rural Lancashire have not been the recipients of any of the main economic development funding regimes.  As a result they have operated in something of a vacuum as far as rural policy and rural development action has been concerned. The purpose of the Lancashire Rural Recovery Action Plan is to provide a much greater level of clarity to rural regeneration objectives and greater efficiency in management and delivery.

CONSERVATION OF THE THREATENED PERUVIAN PLANTCUTTER
The Peruvian Plantcutter (Phytotoma raimondii) is probably the most
threatened bird in Peru. Over the last 50 years the species has only been
found at four localities and just one of these sites is frequently visited.
The great reduction of Plantcutters in Peru is a direct result of habitat
loss to agriculture and the extraction of firewood. The birdís entire
distribution falls within Peru's heavily cultivated river valleys and as
people change these once forested valleys into agricultural land, the
species habitat is destroyed. There has never been a specialized study of these rare birds and almost nothing is known about its breeding habits and habitat requirements. Gunnar Engblom, a Swedish ornithologist, is conducting a study at Rafan, a site frequently visited by birdwatchers

INCREASING NUMBERS OF DEER: A MAJOR FORCE FOR ECOLOGICAL CHANGE IN ENGLISH WOODS
Densities of several species of deer are increasing strongly in many areas of lowland England. This has widely caused severe impacts on woodland regeneration and vegetation structure. It has created particularly serious difficulties for maintaining traditional coppice management systems which are of high value for nature conservation. Using data from a variety of sources we show how browsing pressure has complex effects on vegetation structure by altering stem densities, tree height, canopy closure and foliage profiles. Data are presented to illustrate these changes in coppiced woodland. We review the implications for plant and animal communities. It is concluded that the scale of habitat changes now occurring in many lowland English woods as a result of intensified browsing pressure will have long-term ecological effects and is likely to lead to a reduction in the conservation value of many sites unless checked.

By MIYOKO CHU
Lab researchers use bioacoustics to monitor animals on land, air, and sea
Bioacoustics researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are hiding microphones in termite mounds in an African forest, mounting them on roof-tops in the Delaware Valley, and dropping them to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean to witness, by sound rather than sight, some of earth's most magnificent spectacles-the gatherings of forest elephants and the massive migrations of birds and whales. Common Yellowthroat by Donald Maslick Using acoustic technologies, Lab scientists can detect sounds that are so low in frequency we can't even hear them, such as some calls of elephants and whales. They can capture and quantify fleeting vocalizations using computer programs developed here at the Lab. And they can send machines out to collect sounds 24 hours a day continuously, in good weather and bad, then analyze the data in the comfort of their offices. Ultimately they hope to monitor the health and activities of entire populations of birds, elephants, and whales on a scale that has been impossible using traditional visual tools alone.
As darkness falls over the Delaware Valley, computers in five homes kick on and begin recording the night sounds from rooftop microphones. Programmed by Lab researcher Harold Mills, the computers pick out and store the calls of warblers and sparrows based on their durations and frequencies. The next morning, the computers automatically send the sound files to the Lab of Ornithology. Technicians then use computer programs to help classify the sounds quickly, rejecting background noises such as raindrops and katydids to identify the birds that passed overhead.
