nationally, and globally with individuals, government agencies, and NGOs in diverse fields to
assess the effects of land management actions, climate change, and other ecological stressors
on bird populations, and prescribe practical solutions. We use cutting-edge science, and publish
results in peer-reviewed journals.”
