The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Western Golden Eagle Team is offering this grant to fund crucial research aimed at developing scientifically defensible spatial products and effective conservation strategies for Golden Eagles. This grant is specifically designed to support robust conservation and management efforts across the species’ annual cycle. A highest priority is to develop comprehensive species distributional models at the scale of CEC Level III Ecoregions, with particular emphasis on the breeding season. Furthermore, this grant is for evaluating the spatial distribution of various potential risks to golden eagles, identifying areas where threats can be most efficiently avoided. The team proposes to partner with scientists, such as those at Humboldt State University, to develop predictive models of Golden Eagle breeding habitat in the western United States and to assess their effectiveness in estimating population distribution and abundance.

| Description: | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Western Golden Eagle Team is funding research to provide scientifically defensible spatial products and conservation strategies to support conservation and management efforts of Golden Eagles. The highest priority is to develop species distributional models at the scale of CEC Level III Ecoregions during all parts of the golden eagleâ¿¿s annual cycle, for which the breeding season is of particular importance. Also of high priority is the need to evaluate the spatial distribution of a variety of potential risks to golden eagles to identify where risks can be most efficiently avoided. The Western Golden Eagle Team proposes to partner with scientists at Humboldt State University (HSU) to develop predictive models of Golden Eagle breeding habitat in the western United States, and to evaluate the ability of these models to support estimation of population distribution and abundance. |
