Résumé :	Ringers can provide valuable information for conservation at local, national and international levels, by their contributions to national monitoring and by working on specific integrated projects, whether directed from the BTO or by other scientists and conservationists. Ringers give freely of their time, money, commitment, expertise and experience to gather such information and most are keen to receive guidance on ways in which they can maximise their contributions for the benefit of conservation. Careful consideration and a long-term perspective are required when offering guidance on priorities to ringers. Financial incentives (restructuring of ring prices) could help to promote the types of ringing that are of high conservation value. Different strategies for improving the conservation value of ringing are likely to appeal to different types of ringers. All types of ringer make valuable contributions to the Ringing Scheme and all should be encouraged to increase their participation in ringing activities of high conservation value by appropriate methods. Trainers have a special role to play as 'keepers of the knowledge'.
