Why protecting grasslands is a win-win-win for climate, biodiversity and the ranching community

To halt and reverse biodiversity loss, we need strong commitment from our policy-makers today that will save our iconic grasslands and the birds and other biodiversity that need them for their survival.

A burrowing owl, pictured in Tswsassen, B.C., in 2014. Birds of grassland landscapes, such as burrowing owls, chestnut-collared longspurs and Baird’s sparrows, are declining faster than any other group of birds across North America, and grassland birds have declined nearly 57 per cent since 1970, write Patrick Nadeau, Ian Cook, and Ryan Beierbach.
