Time is of the essence for developing long-term solutions to save Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Despite the increased water levels from this year’s snowpack, the lake still faces long-term threats from water diversions, warming temperatures, and changing precipitation patterns. The 10+ million birds that depend on this ecosystem for breeding, nesting, or as a critical refueling point in their lengthy migrations are calling for our help.
Low water levels affect food sources for migratory birds like the Sandhill Crane.
389 North American bird species are at increasing risk of climate extinction.
We’ve lost 3 billion birds in the last 50 years and must protect those that remain.
Birds tell us it’s not too late—but there’s no time to lose. With the ability to impact Western water policy and with expertise in conservation, we are uniquely positioned to identify long-term water-management solutions that will secure a reliable supply for Great Salt Lake and the birds that depend on it. And with the support of generous people like you, we’re succeeding—working in state houses and the U.S. Capitol to achieve significant policy changes that are critical steps to a brighter future for birds and people alike. And those are just some of the ways we can protect birds and the places they need across North America with your help.
