“…However, the prairie grouse have lost major parts of their original ranges in the past (e.g. Schroeder & Robb 1993, Braun et al 1994, Connelly et al 1998, Giesen 1998), and four of the five species are globally threatened or near threatened.…”

A major task of the Grouse Specialist Group is to compile an IUCN/SSC Action Plan to assess threats and propose conservation actions for all grouse species worldwide. This paper provides an overview to the conservation status o f and major threats to grouse based on information collected during the preparation of the Grouse Action Plan. Three species, Caucasian black grouse Tetrao mlokosiewiczi, Chinese grouse Bonasa sewerzowi and Siberian grouse Falcipennis falcipennis, are listed as globally near-threatened or data deficient, one newlyrecognised species, Gunnison sage grouse Centrocercus minimus, is listed as globally endangered and two subspecies, A ttw ater's prairie chicken Tympanuchus cupido attwateri and Cantabrian capercaillie Tetrao urogallus cantabricus, qualify to be listed as globally threatened according to IUCN criteria. At a national level, 14 of the 18 species are red-listed in at least one country. Popu lations at the southern edge of a species' range and in densely populated regions are most often red-listed. Based on questionnaire results from 38 countries, habitat degradation, loss and fragmentation due to human land use activities are the major threats to grouse viability. Exploitation, predation and human disturbance were regionally felt to be critical. M ajor threats and their causes are reviewed based on questionnaire results and the literature. Integrating habi tat preservation and human land use practices is concluded to be the major chal lenge to grouse conservationists worldwide.

“…However, lower breeding success for ground nesting birds has been associated with increases in cropland (Greenwood et al 1995) and heavy livestock grazing (Baines 1996, Calladine et al 2002, Kirsch et al 1973, Kirsch et al 1978. Habitat loss or degradation is often implicated as the ultimate cause for declines in grassland birds (Schroeder & Robb 1993, Connelly et al 1998, Giesen 1998, Schroeder et al 1999), but predation is the proximate cause of mortality for most individuals (Schroeder & Baydack 2001). Indeed, predation is an important limiting factor for many bird species (Newton 1993), and increasing predator density has been associated with increasing proportions of crop and pasture land at landscape extents (Andrén 1992, Kurki et al 1998, Manzer & Hannon 2005.…”
