The Why Files Blog
Bird-work wanted!
In response to a mammoth report on the health of America’s birds, The Why Files is working on a new feature about the status of our birds, for our April 2 edition. The report, from the U.S. Department of the Interior , working with conservation groups, highlights the desperate condition of birds in Hawaii. Grassland birds like the bobolink are also in tough shape. Among other things, the report calls for innovative farming practices that reduce harm to birds.
The new Why Files book explains one idea for aligning economics, farming and conservation to benefit grassland birds.
