"Prince Edward Island is dominated by a low-lying landscape that is only slightly above sea level in the west, is hilly in the central region and has gently rolling hills in the east. Almost half of the area is cultivated, while most of the other half is dominated by mixed temperate forests. The vast majority of the land (90%) is privately owned. The Island is famous for its agriculture (potatoes, soybeans and blueberries are the main crops), and as a tourist destination. It is relatively densely populated with few areas remaining untouched by human disturbance. Aquaculture is increasingly important along the coastline. Within the terrestrial portion of Bird Conservation Region 14 on Prince Edward Island (BCR 14 PEI), there are 52 priority bird species. Wetlands are used by the greatest number of priority bird species (46%), while mixed wood forests are used by 33%, coniferous forests by 27% and deciduous forests by 17%. An additional 33% of priority species use cultivated areas"--Executive summary.
