Dr. Adam Janke is an Associate Professor in Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Iowa State University and the statewide Wildlife Extension Specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. He also recently took on the role of Associate Director at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture. Adam’s work is all about helping people and wildlife share the land—whether that’s through wetlands that improve water quality and provide bird habitat, grasslands where grazing and biodiversity can work hand in hand, or even conservation projects in cities. At the heart of it all is his passion for birds. A true Midwesterner, Adam has a deep connection to the Corn Belt and its landscapes, and he shares our love for the birds that call this region home.
