HELP HAWAIIAN BIRDS
‘I’iwi and many other threatened Hawaiian birds need your support. Gifts matched!
where 20+ years of bold action, focus on results, and partnership are bringing back the birds across the Western Hemisphere. Our mission is clear: to conserve native birds and their habitats across the Americas. In doing so, we benefit not only American birds but all other species as well.
Our fearless approach to conservation drives all that we do, and the results are measurable. We’ve made significant strides to safeguard rare birds, conserve important bird habitat, reduce top threats to birds, and build an Americas-wide community of bird conservationists.
Toxic neonicotinoids are in hundreds of products, from seeds to salad bars.
With support from the Leon Levy Foundation, we work to make wind energy "bird-smart."
With our partners, we're protecting places migratory birds need most.

Neonicotinoids: These toxic pesticides are found in the foods we eat, the pest-control sprays we use in our gardens, and the flea-control products we put on our pets. Yet, they are lethal to birds, as well as the bees we rely on to pollinate our crops. We're thrilled to co-sponsor a Congressional briefing on this topic today -- along with Friends of the Earth U.S., Beyond Pesticides, Endangered Species Coalition, and many other partners -- at 10:30 am in Cannon 340.
Special thanks to the members of Congress who are hosting this important session: Earl Blumenauer, Congressman John Conyers, Jr., Keith Ellison, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, Congressman Steve Cohen, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Congressman Jim McGovern, and Congressman Jared Polis, along with Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

We applaud the U.S. Senators and Representatives who today introduced bills to ban use of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that has been killing birds and poisoning the environment for the past half-century. The “Protect Children, Farmers & Farmworkers from Nerve Agent Pesticides Act” would prohibit all chlorpyrifos use by amending the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that oversees food safety.
Thank you Senator Tom Udall, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker Senator Richard Blumenthal, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, and Senator Edward J. Markey, along with Representatives Nydia Velazquez and Keith Ellison!
Birds like Mountain Plover (shown) and many more stand to benefit. Our statement:

Good news on these bills! Also, there are so many bird species in Texas at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge that could be adversely affected by the proposed Border Wall. Is there any news from the House on the funding for the wall? I had read that the vote was supposed to be today.
Right On! About time some kind of post dealing with governmental-related issues, is an uplifting story!---From an avowed bird watcher.
