Birds Need Our Help – You Can Make a Difference

Our partners at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in collaboration with other researchers, have published a new study that evaluates the populations of more than 500 North American bird species. The results are nothing short of shocking! Today, the skies over North America are home to nearly three billion fewer birds than they were in 1970— which means that almost 1 out of every 4 birds have disappeared from our lives over the past 50 years.

But while the majority of the study results are troubling, it also shared some encouraging news. A few groups of birds (such as waterfowl and raptors) are doing well, and demonstrate that conservation efforts can help to bring some birds back.

Yes, each of us can make a difference.
