I am writing this book to show others’ the importance of birds. Not just that, but how rapidly they are declining near where I live, the Great Plains.

Since 1970, birds in the grasslands region have been declining rapidly. Bird species have been lost. This is because of farming. Farming causing people to wipe out wetlands.

The rates have been looked at, and come to 74.2 percent. Other habitats are doing much better.

So, why the importance of wetlands you think?

Well, it’s the nesting place for mallard ducks, hunting round for owls, migration stop for Sandhill cranes, and much more.

Not many people are doing much to help, but you can! Visit a website or National park and help us support the Great Plains!
