ACTION ALERT: Protect Birds and People from Harmful Greenhouse Gases

TAKE ACTION: [link removed]
                           
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a new proposal to reverse a landmark scientific finding called the “Endangerment Finding,” which allows the agency to set limits on greenhouse gas pollution. The agency’s move to overturn this finding is contrary to overwhelming scientific evidence connecting climate change to human sources of greenhouse gases. Urge the Environmental Protection Agency to maintain scientific integrity by upholding the Endangerment Finding and remaining committed to tackling climate change.

Two-thirds of North American bird species are at risk of extinction unless we take rapid action to address climate change. For example, the Great Gray Owl is projected to lose 97 percent of its current breeding range if no action is taken. 

This year, the 2025 U.S. State of the Birds Report revealed widespread declines in American bird populations, with 229 species requiring urgent conservation action. Several factors related to climate change are driving these declines, including increased frequency of droughts and wildfires, as well as sea-level rise, which has significantly contributed to the disappearance of critical habitats.

Eliminating the Endangerment Finding will make it more difficult for the EPA, both now and in the future, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change that not only put our birds at risk, but also impact our communities. From hurricanes and heat waves to wildfires and flooding, communities nationwide are already experiencing more frequent and intense extreme weather events.
 
The urgency for climate action is more apparent than ever.  

Please take action and urge the EPA to reconsider this change and help mitigate the impacts of climate change that harm birds and people.

The EPA is accepting public input on the proposal to eliminate the Endangerment Finding until Monday, September 22. 

Thank you for taking action,
