Spatial planning and decision-support tools facilitate the consideration of socioecological tradeoffs associated with extractive activities, but insufficient data resources often limit their application. Focusing on birds and mining concessions in the Northern Andes, we illustrate how publicly-available data can be used in spatial prioritization tools to identify where concessions have the potential to impact 22 species of Neotropical migratory birds. Concessions covered 11% of the land area of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, and disproportionately occurred within important areas for migratory birds in Colombia and Ecuador, but not Peru. eBird data showed that one-quarter of avian species, including the Olive-sided Flycatcher, Cerulean Warbler, and Canada Warbler, had >10% of their global populations on concession land during the non-breeding season. More worrisome, species of greater conservation importance and with larger population declines (1974–2014) were most likely to co-occur with mining. Our approach highlights how public biodiversity data can be used to predict, avoid, or mitigate potential ecological impacts from extractive activities.

空间规划和决策支持工具有助于考虑与采掘活动相关的社会生态折衷，但是数据资源不足通常会限制其应用。以安第斯山脉北部的鸟类和采矿特许权为重点，我们说明了如何在空间优先排序工具中使用公开可用的数据来确定哪些特许权有可能影响22种新热带候鸟的潜力。特许权覆盖了哥伦比亚，厄瓜多尔和秘鲁的11％的土地面积，而且不成比例地发生在哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔的候鸟的重要地区，但秘鲁却没有。eBird数据显示，四分之一的鸟类，包括橄榄边的捕蝇器，蔚蓝的莺和加拿大莺，> 在非繁殖季节，他们的全球人口中有10％位于特许土地上。更令人担忧的是，具有更重要的保护意义且种群下降幅度更大的物种（1974–2014年）最有可能与采矿业同时发生。我们的方法强调了如何将公共生物多样性数据用于预测，避免或减轻采掘活动的潜在生态影响。
