Grassland Grouse and Their Conservation

Grassland Grouse is a call to action from one of the world's leading ornithologists. Conservationists have seen a marked decline in the populations of North American grouse, particularly the grassland-adapted species. Unless action is taken swiftly, at least one species is certain to follow the heath hen into extinction. Johnsgard discusses places where populations exist that have yet to be preserved, and outlines the steps necessary to conserve these species. A possible future does exist for grassland grouse, and Johnsgard's book points the way toward securing it.

Paul A. Johnsgard has published more than forty books, including Hawks, Eagles, and Falcons of North America: Biology and Natural History (Smithsonian, pbk., 2001). His books occupy nearly five feet of shelf space. He recently retired from the University of Nebraska and lives in Lincoln
