Prairie loss drives bird declines across Kansas prairies
Kansas researchers warn that destruction of tallgrass prairies fuels declines in species like the greater prairie chicken and other grassland birds. They note 98 percent of original tallgrass prairie is gone, with remaining fragments in the Flint Hills. Protecting land from cultivation and supporting the Conservation Reserve Program are among suggested measures, as birds serve as bellwethers for grassland health.
