In the fall of 2015, our partners began expressing interest in new bird conservation research.On December 8, 2016, a bird conservation workshop was held at the University of Alberta, featuring presentations by a wide range of experts and a “knowledge cafe” style discussion.
The goal was to assess the current state of knowledge and identify related research questions.
Lisa Takats Priestley, of STRIX Ecological Consulting, explained her program with Weyherhaeuser to help them and other forestry companies meet their obligations under the Migratory Birds Convention Act through a risk assessment tool.
