\nWatch webinar recording<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Northeast Bird Habitat Conservation Initiative<\/a>, this webinar will present current research by the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at Cornell University around the interactions among energy development, wildlife, and ecosystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presenters will review the value of working lands for grassland bird communities in New York and the impacts solar energy development is having on their populations. They will also share recent findings from their research and offer an evaluation of best management practices for grassland bird conservation amidst this novel driver of land use change. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Conservation professionals are increasingly turning to acoustic monitoring to better understand biodiversity, inform land management, and connect people with nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This webinar introduces how solar-powered, real-time recording units<\/strong>\u2014equipped with cutting-edge AI tools\u2014can help land stewards detect species, monitor ecosystems, and share the sounds of their landscapes with the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
