Goose

About

How goose lives

Geese graze in flocks and migrate between breeding and wintering habitats using strong group flight. Flying in a V formation can reduce energy costs for migrating geese. Wetlands combine land and water resources, making them rich feeding zones for adaptable species.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting goose also depends on keeping wetland, grassland habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
