It’s a code-red crisis unfolding before our very eyes: More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline. Of those, 70 species, including the Golden-winged Warbler and Rufous Hummingbird, are identified as at a “Tipping Point”—birds that have lost 50% or more of their populations in the past 50 years and are on track to lose another half or more in the coming decades. The situation is dire. But we have shown that where there’s action, there’s hope.
Tomorrow is Earth Day, a day to honor and strengthen our resolve to preserve the precious planet we all share. But with more than half of U.S. bird species in decline—including the beloved Golden-winged Warbler and Rufous Hummingbird—we’re not waiting to act. Because birds have been telling us that we must take action on climate—and because we have listened—we’re already working to create a safer, more hopeful future for birds and for our planet.
