This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC), is for a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to establish a new collaborative research initiative. The primary purpose of this funding is to thoroughly investigate the critical habitat features and demographic parameters of two federally-listed species: least terns and piping plovers. This essential research will specifically focus on their populations within the Northern Great Plains region. The overarching objective is to significantly enhance our understanding of these vulnerable shorebirds, thereby providing crucial data to inform effective conservation strategies. The grant aims to foster a sustained partnership between USGS and the CESU partner, generating valuable ecological insights vital for the long-term protection of these priority species and their habitats.
