Since 1970, the U.S. and Canada have lost 3 billion birds—a full quarter of our total bird population gone. And in 2023, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared 10 bird species extinct—the largest number of extinctions ever announced by the government. It’s too late to help those we’ve lost, but surviving birds need you more than ever. This year's State of the Birds report confirms that one-third of U.S. birds need conservation action now.
