North American Conservation Action Plan for the Vaquita (Phocoena sinus)
 This North American Conservation Action Plan (NACAP), developed for the vaquita (Phocoena sinus), resulted from the advice provided by the Biodiversity Conservation Working Group to the CEC Council, which instructed its Secretariat on 27 June 2007, to initiate collaborative actions to recover the vaquita and promote sustainable local livelihoods. Although the vaquita is found only in Mexican waters, it had been identified by Canada, Mexico and the United States as a species of common conservation concern in North America. As a result, the CEC hosted a trinational workshop in Ensenada, Baja California, in October 2007, and obtained input from an extensive list of experts from diverse backgrounds from Canada, Mexico and the United States. Furthermore, the content of this NACAP has been cleared for publication by an inter-governmental review process established by the CEC Council to ensure the quality of the Plan.

North American Monarch Conservation Plan
 This plan provides an updated account of the species and its current situation, identifies the main risk factors affecting it and its habitat throughout the flyway, and summarizes the current conservation actions taken in each country. Against this background, it offers a list of key trinational collaborative conservation actions, priorities and targets to be considered for adoption by the three countries. The actions identified address the following main objectives: (1) decrease or eliminate deforestation in the overwintering habitat; (2) address threats of habitat loss and degradation in the flyway; (3) address threats of loss, fragmentation and modification of breeding habitat; (4) develop innovative enabling approaches that promote sustainable livelihoods for the local population; and (5) monitor monarchs throughout the flyway. The adoption of measures to address these objectives will help conserve the monarch and its habitats for future generations.

Marine Priority Conservation Areas
Baja California to the Bering Sea
 From the Gulf of California, with its deep canyons, nutrient-rich upwellings and high levels of endemism, to the 20,000 kilometers of bays, inlets and inland drainage systems of the Pacific Northwest and the high productivity of the Bering Sea, the west coast of North America is home to unique and important shared marine environments.

North American Important Bird Areas
A Directory of 150 Key Conservation Sites
 Some 1,400 species of birds inhabit North America. This is roughly equivalent to one species in six of all the world's avifauna. By country, one finds over 1,000 species in Mexico, over 800 in the United States and over 600 in Canada. More than 250 species in North America are migratory. The spectacular array of bird life found across the continent is supported and created by the varied tapestry of North America's lands and waters.(...)
