Dear Shorebird enthusiasts,

We have just finished a final draft of the Lesser Yellowlegs Tringa
flavipes Conservation Plan, on behalf of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird
Reserve Network, and would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone willing
to review the plan, primarily to check:

We would especially appreciate feedback on:
1) the background sections -- are they accurate and do they reflect the
current available information?
2) identified threats -- are all principal threats covered, and how Lesser
Yellowlegs might be affected;
3) actions and timeline -- do these seem reasonable, and do they capture
the important things to do to further Lesser Yellowlegs conservation?
4) did we miss any key sites (i.e. sites with more than 1% of the global
population)?

If you are interested in reviewing the plan, please drop me a note and I
will send it to you.

Please add any comments, using "Track Changes", to me (
[log in to unmask]) if at all possible by Monday the 18th of June. We
plan to complete the plan as soon as possible, so comments received after
that date may not arrive in time to be included.

If you have colleagues who you believe would be appropriate reviewers and
not subscribed to this listserv, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide with the review,

Arne Lesterhuis
