Birds are at their most vulnerable right now. We must protect them.

Three-Quarters of Bird Species in North America Are Hurtling Towards Extinction as Populations Drop Off


Approximately 75% of bird species across the North American continent are dying off. This includes birds like sweet little chickadees, red-winged blackbirds, great egrets, little blue herons, peregrine falcons, and more.

 

As their population numbers plummet, it shows that we are moving closer and closer to a massive extinction event.

Many culprits have contributed to this problem. Climate change is disrupting their food sources and breeding grounds. Human development projects — including clearing land for farms — are tearing down their ecosystems. And pesticide use is poisoning them.

And now, it's all set to get so much worse. Donald Trump has been hell-bent on attacking the environment and tearing apart wildlife protections. As just one example, he even recently directed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to redefine what constitutes "harm" to endangered species — just so that corporations can get away with more oil-drilling and logging in old-growth forests.

We must be doing everything we can to save North American birds — not make the situation worse for them. Sign the petition to demand the Trump administration immediately stop its attacks on endangered species, wildlife, oceans, and the environment!
