This decrease in bird populations is important for a variety of reasons.
First, birds are a bellwether and can be a sign of broader ecological problems, such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Monitoring their population helps us better understand the health of our natural environment.
Second, birds have a positive impact on the environment. They pollinate wildflowers, disperse plant seeds, and eat pesty insects like bark beetles and weevils. Without birds, there will not be balance in our ecosystems.
It’s clear that this is a sign of many more problems to come! Will you please donate now to help us get a handle on our climate crisis before it’s too late?
The truth is, while they can be fun to watch from afar, humans are the biggest threat to bird populations around the world.
That’s because the biggest challenges birds face - like habitat loss, pesticides, glass windows, and even domestic cats - are all man-made. Climate change only exacerbates the threat that humans pose on birds.
We need to elect leaders who actually care about our environment and wildlife! Will you please donate now to elect more SEEC Members to Congress?
Together, we can tackle this problem.
