Eastern Loggerhead Shrike and the Economy

Some of the economic factors that I have found that seems to be effecting the Eastern Loggerhead Bird the most in the Quebec area is the funding.  As the economy goes down, so does the governmental funding that is given to some organizations that to help the bird and other wildlife.  In 2008 the government decided to cut short their five year contract of funding the bird early.  This specific five year agreement was broken between the federal government and with Wildlife Conservation Canada which provides funds to conserve the endangered Eastern Loggerhead Shrike.  This greatly influences and impacts the birds significantly because this gives the chance of funding being cut more often since it was done before.  In June 2011, the Québec Government started the Plan Nord which is a big project that will give an approximant $80 billion over for the next twenty five years period to help organizations and their recovery programs.  I really hope that the federal government decides to stick to their agreement this time. : )
