BREAKING: Bills Introduced in the U.S. House will Help Bend the Bird Curve

Chesapeake Ospreys are in Danger—They Need More Fish
Researchers in Virginia are sounding the alarm on a dramatic decline in Osprey reproductive success, due to overfishing of Atlantic menhaden. Without enough fish to eat, Osprey chicks are starving in their nests, and overall reproductive rates have dropped even lower than at the height of the DDT era. Read more

Climate Corner
At Climate Week NYC, Audubon hosted a panel about responsible offshore wind development in the U.S. Panelists discussed how offshore wind can be deployed in ways that are informed by science and community input in coordination with relevant agencies. With the right technology, offshore wind is a solvable problem for birds, but the status quo of living with the climate crisis is not. In January, Audubon will release a new report that examines the challenges and opportunities for responsibly building offshore wind. Read more

Your Actions at Work
Good news! The U.S. House of Representatives passed three bipartisan pieces of legislation protecting birds and people along our coasts and Great Salt Lake from the effects of drought, storms, and sea-level rise. These important bills provide balanced solutions to the dual biodiversity and climate crises we are witnessing, and we are pleased to see them move forward. Read more
