Taxon data sheets
The CAMP Taxon Data Sheet is a working document that
provides information which can be used to assess the degree of threat
and recommend conservation action. The first part of the sheet
summarises information on the status of the wild and captive
populations of each taxon. It contains taxonomic distribution and
demographic information. This information can be used to identify
priorities for intensive management action for the taxa. A sample
taxon data sheet is given below.
