Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Report

This report is the culmination of three years of collaboration between shrike researchers, land managers, zoos, governments, and industry to develop a conservation plan for Eastern Loggerhead Shrike across their entire range. With this, we have a fresh new roadmap for species recovery that incorporates all the best available science, and a clear and detailed plan for how to get there.
