The Wake-up Call: conserving Canada's most threatened bird species


Listen Later

The Wake-up Call is a special series where we'll be learning about Canada's most threatened, and at-risk bird species. Experts working with each species will help us fall in love with these often elusive birds; we'll learn about the greatest threats, and how we can help. 

This first episode in the series provides background information to help us understand how species are protected in Canada. Later episodes will feature deep dives into species such as Piping Plover, Bicknell's Thrush, Leach's Storm-Petrel, and many more.

We love hearing from you! Let us know what you think of this new series by emailing [email protected], and please remember to subscribe, rate and review.
