Avian ecology & management

Christy N. Wails
Assistant Professor of Avian Ecology & Management
Department of Natural Resource Management
South Dakota State University

My team and I focus on understanding what birds need to thrive and how our actions shape the ecosystems they live in. We work in close partnerships with stakeholders and natural resource managers to guide conservation decisions that will promote healthy bird populations, enhance their habitat, and benefit people through myriad conservation co-benefits and economic activity.
