Birds like the Black-throated Blue Warbler will soon take flight for their fall migration, and some already have. Sadly, they face several threats stemming from habitat loss, climate change, and human activities: Deforestation and urban development reduce suitable stopover sites and wintering grounds, climate change alters weather patterns and food availability, impacting migration timing and survival, and artificial lights and collisions with buildings cause significant mortality, as disoriented birds often crash into structures during their journey.
The situation is urgent and demands immediate action. With your support, we can protect birds and the places they need. Please start your annual donation now, and your first gift will be matched up to $40,000 to protect vulnerable birds.
