Right now, the U.S. Congress is working to put together a bill to fund the government for Fiscal Year 2017. Congress has an opportunity to boost much-needed funding levels for bird conservation programs as a result of the budget compromise last fall. But much more is at stake.
Migratory birds are in trouble. Habitat loss and other threats are causing dramatic population declines in species like Scarlet Tanager (shown). The decline of migratory birds signals a potential crisis that Congress must act now to reverse. One positive step forward is to sufficiently fund the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act and Migratory Bird Joint Ventures at the highest level possible.

Please act now! Tell your Senators and Representative: Make protecting migratory birds and other wildlife a priority. Thank you.
