National Burrowing Owl Conservation Plan

The National Burrowing Owl Conservation Plan is a strategy to protect and support burrowing owls, which depend on underground dens often created by animals like prairie dogs. The plan aims to ensure their habitat remains safe and available, especially as land use changes threaten their populations. It involves habitat preservation, managing competing species, and promoting awareness. By coordinating efforts across government agencies, scientists, and communities, the plan helps maintain healthy owl populations and their ecological role, while balancing development with wildlife conservation.
