Highlighting USGS's Critical Bird Monitoring Programs

Our latest fact sheet, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), was released last month, titled "Foundational Science in Flight: USGS Bird Programs Support Conservation, Culture, and a Thriving U.S. Economy." The fact sheet describes the history and critical impacts of the Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) and the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), two national bird monitoring programs led by the USGS. These programs have been key to informing science-based bird management and conservation while supporting the U.S. economy through birdwatching, hunting, and ecotourism. Explore the fact sheet here to discover over 100 years of progress achieved by these programs and their future objectives.
