This action plan for the Bali Starling has been prepared as a result of a detailed consultation process including workshops held at the Bali Barat National Park. It is based on the experience gained from the Bali Starling Project. This collaborative project between the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conser-vation (PHPA), the Bali Barat National Park, BirdLife International and the American Association of Zoos ran from 1987 to 1994.

The recovery plan presents a set of prioritised activities. Implementing all of these activities is beyond the human and financial resources of the PHPA and Bali Barat National Park. We hope that other agencies will take on components of this plan orprovide financial support for their implementation.
