Conservation of Piping Plover ( Charadrius melodus ) in North America: science, successes, and challenges 1 This review is part of the virtual symposium “Flagship Species – Flagship Problems” that deals with ecology, biodiversity and management issues, and climate impacts on species at risk and of Canadian importance, including the polar bear ( Ursus maritimus ), Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ), Piping Plover ( Charadrius melodus ), and caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ).
There are only about 8000 Piping Plovers ( Charadrius melodus Ord, 1834) in existence. Because they depend on environments that are under intense human pressures and controls in both their breeding and wintering grounds, these birds and their habitats are highly managed in many areas across their ra...

Efforts to recover this endangered and threatened species have engaged thousands of people from Newfoundland to the Caribbean, and have provoked a ground-swell of public support and, at times, fury, as well as a considerable body of research. Although populations have increased substantially in the U.S. Atlantic and U.S. Great Lakes, this is not true of all regions.
