SUMMARY:Applying the Bird-friendliness Index to Address Systemic Drivers of Grassland Bird Declines
DESCRIPTION:The birds that rely on the agricultural landscape of the Canadian Prairies\, especially grassland birds\, are in steep decline. Birds Canada’s work on the Canadian Prairies is focused on finding solutions to the systemic issues that are the root cause for bird population declines. This presentation will focus around the Bird-friendliness Index\, and the role it can play in enabling an agricultural system that conserves birds while sustaining the livelihoods of the people on the land.  \nSpeaker: As the Grassland Conservation Manager for Birds Canada\, Ian Cook’s work largely focuses on finding solutions for conserving birds that rely on the Canadian Prairies. Along with his colleagues at Birds Canada\, he works on finding systemic solutions to conserve birds\, while sustaining the livelihoods of the people on the land. He received his BSc in Agriculture from the University of Manitoba in 2013\, is a Professional Agrologist. \nRegister
