October 2017 - Recent news reports and policy discussions have mentioned the use of captive rearing as a viable alternative for sage-grouse conservation. The North American Grouse Partnership does not support this practice for mitigation or augmentation of wild sage-grouse populations or their habitats. Our position is based on the current science and professional judgement of grouse biologists.
