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. CAMP
