On June 23, 2022, Dr. David Haukos of Kansas State University presented findings of recent studies and shared how these findings inform incorporation of managed livestock grazing, prescribed fire, tree removal, and strategic placement of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) tracts into working landscapes to benefit lesser prairie-chickens.
Lesser prairie-chicken populations have significantly declined since the mid-late 1980s due to factors including habitat loss, increased presence of anthropogenic features, drought, encroaching invasive woody and herbaceous plants, and reduction in quality of remaining habitat. More than 99 percent of remaining lesser prairie-chicken range occurs on private, working landscapes, making voluntary efforts critical to conservation.
