A Need for Conservation
The 2019 publication, 3 Billion Birds Lost, found that 27% of landbirds have been lost since 1970, with grassland birds incurring the highest proportional losses in abundance. Population growth and urbanization, changes in timberland ownership and management, and potential impacts of climate change threaten habitats. These changes have reduced habitat connectivity, altered hydrology, and restricted the use of important management tools such as prescribed fire.
Successful conservation of birds and their habitats require our partnership to integrate science with on-the-ground habitat conservation work and effective communications. In the face of numerous challenges, collaborative conservation through partnerships such as ours can activate multi-faceted, holistic, and effective conservation to benefit birds and additional species of wildlife.
