Birds Canada

Each year, Canadian conservationists release dozens of young Eastern loggerhead shrikes into the wild, hoping to reverse the decline of one of the country’s most endangered songbirds. 

The spring migratory season got off to an encouraging start for one threatened bird species, a national conservation group says, noting it recently logged thousands of chimney swifts at a single address in Fredricton.

The program is overseen nationally by Birds Canada and the results help to underpin some major reports about Canada's bird population, including the federal government's State of Canada's Bird 2024 report.

Grassland birds are the most threatened populations of birds in Canada, with a 67 per cent decline since 1970, a report published Tuesday found — but a surprising alliance with beef producers is emerging to protect their habitat.

With populations on the decline, the collection will allow volunteers, not just professional scientists, to contribute to the conservation of birds.

Scientists are turning to a low-cost radio-based technology to help solve the mysteries of declining bird populations.

If global biodiversity — the subject of a huge international meeting in Montreal this week — is too much of a mouthful, try thinking instead about the white-throated sparrow. 

A document from Environment Canada that warned of disastrous environmental impacts was withheld from a key stage of an environmental assessment for a proposed Metro Vancouver shipping terminal.
