Project Background
The project will build an online decision support tool to estimate effects of wildlife programs and practices on populations of grassland birds. The decision support tool will use existing geospatial and bird monitoring data to and build on years of conservation planning and delivery experience across four Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. The innovative, interactive tool will be spatially explicit, integrate across breeding and non-breeding seasons, and potentially integrate across international borders.
