About this Webinar:
Piping Plovers are small, migratory shorebirds that breed on sparsely-vegetated beaches or sandy saline flats. After being listed as Endangered, the first International Piping Plover Census (IPPC) was conducted in 1991. The IPPC is a concerted effort to count all Piping Plovers in Canada, the USA, Mexico, and the Caribbean, every five years, making it the longest running shorebird census to cover the entire range of a species. After the 7th IPPC was put on hiatus, initially due to COVID-19, Nature Saskatchewan in partnership with the Canadian Wildlife Service, launched a Prairie Canada Piping Plover Census coordinated with many partners and volunteers across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. In this presentation we will talk Piping Plover basics, dig into the details of the 2024 Prairie Canada Piping Plover Census results, and learn what you can do for Piping Plovers including Nature Saskatchewan's Plovers on Shore stewardship program.
PCAP’s Native Prairie Speaker Series is a monthly webinar about prairie conservation or species at risk.
