IBWO Draft Recovery Plan Released Today

http://www.fws.gov/ivorybill/IBWDraftRecoveryPlan.pdf

Addition:

Although the title page is dated August 2007, it appears to end with Arkansas in early 2006, and conspicuously absent is any mention of the sightings/searching in the Choctawhatchee bottomlands. The area is not even included in the list of priority search areas for Florida. This is not a snub of the Auburn/Windsor effort (first announced less than a year ago), but an indication that the release of this document has been on hold for some time without the editing necessary to keep it current. Another example: In several places the plan mentions events that "will happen" in 2006.
