Prairie grassland loss drives bird conservation crisis in Canada
Birds Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada warn Prairie grasslands are vanishing to cropland and development, triggering a 67 percent drop in birds living in the region since 1970 and a 90 percent decline among prairie specialists. The chestnut collared song sparrow and burrowing owl face steep declines, with habitat loss harming nesting success and survival. Action areas urge public and government measures to protect grasslands, value their ecosystem services, and support climate mitigation.
