SPATIAL RESOURCES

Central Grasslands Bird Working Group (CGBWG)

The CGBWG data and tool development efforts focus on the recovery of 17 steeply declining species. The approach covers a systems level approach to characterize spatial variation in population dynamics, limiting factors, and the key human dimensions essential for successful recovery and grassland conservation.
