In the past 50 years, the total North American bird population has fallen by almost 3 billion or 29 percent. Rising temperatures also threaten two-thirds of North American bird species with extinction.
We have about a decade to preserve the habitats and species we know today, stem the effects of climate change and reduce risks to birds and other wildlife. And you can help.
We invite you to join us online and in person for unique bird and birding experiences. The Festival’s programs are designed to celebrate the work of others and help all of us learn from the heroes working to save birds and their habitat and advance the cause of environmental justice. Discover how you can get involved and help write a different story.
