Reports from the Conference - The theme of the meeting was SHARED SPACES: The Right of Humans and Birds to Share the Earth. Accordingly, the conference featured thematic discussions of inter-island conservation issues related to this theme through workshops, symposia, round-table discussions and working group meetings. Most reports from these sessions are now available on our website; check out the Working Group pages to see some of the reports; others are available on the Workshop Report Page. The reports will also be published in a special issue of the Journal of Caribbean Ornithology.
