## Resource

The North American Grouse Partnership is on a mission to ensure a future where all 12 grouse species not only survive—but thrive—across the continent. Through science-driven conservation, smart policy, and strong partnerships, they’re working to protect and restore the habitats these birds depend on. With a special focus on prairie grouse, they’re tackling one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world: our grasslands. Backed by a powerhouse team of scientists and conservation leaders, their work is grounded in real data and real results—turning strategy into meaningful impact on the ground. Today, we visit with Ted Koch, Executive Director and Taylor Linder, The Lesser Prairie-Chicken Landowner Alliance Coordinator to discuss the organization, grasslands, and the critical status of the Lesser Prairie Chicken. Topics Covered: ​The critical status of grasslands in America ​Why grasslands are vital for wildlife and humans ​The need for ranching to be more economically viable ​The delisting of Lesser Prairie Chickens from the ESA ​What you can do to help save ranching and therefore, Lesser Prairie Chickens Join The North American Grouse Partnership: https://www.grousepartners.org/ Proud Sponsors: Gundog Central Hunt Redi
