Migratory birds transcend national borders, which is why we need a hemispheric approach to conservation. Three billion birds have been lost since 1970, and the same factors that threaten them also threaten our own communities. https://t.co/fIg8ThIIrf

Fantastic timing! Just as birds like the Red Knot are flying to their nonbreeding grounds, a companion bill has been introduced in the U.S. House to support the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act, one of the most important bird conservation laws. https://t.co/s1U6E8xOhv

Thanks to @RepRonKind and @RepMariaSalazar for introducing this bipartisan bill, which proposes an increase in funding to help conserve migratory birds. Many migratory bird populations are rapidly declining and need this support now. https://t.co/GW9T3RiJyo

Despite the steep decline last year, Maine’s Atlantic Puffins and Common Terns raised chicks at double the rate of last year. @DerrickZJackson visited several seabird nesting islands this year and described what he saw as a “breeding bonanza.” https://t.co/oRo7ob28Sr

The outcome is disappointing considering the scale of offending and the amount of work put in by the partner agencies involved including @ukwildlifecrime @NaturalEngland @RuralCrimeNfk A media release from Norfolk Police can be read here https://t.co/aLIGeKF0QR https://t.co/kJ8W4PC3rZ

You can help get this bill across the finish line and strengthen migratory bird conservation. Tell your U.S. representative that you’re with @RepRonKind and @RepMariaSalazar — ask them to support the NMBCA today! https://t.co/t7vIxtbUHF

This bipartisan U.S. House bill introduced by @RepRonKind and @RepMariaSalazar will help provide the investments we need to protect the places that both birds and people need to survive. Urge your members of Congress to support this legislation: https://t.co/7Jv2pKDwQk

We can buffer seabirds like the Atlantic Puffin against these threats by ensuring they have the fish they need to feed their young. Voice your support of legislation that will update & strengthen the existing fisheries law & help #SaveTheSeabirds. https://t.co/UOHu2X1Oml https://t.co/Ug8SqW8r3r

Rapid climate change still poses a threat and if we don’t take steps to mitigate it, disastrous nesting seasons like 2021 could become the norm. #BirdsTellUs we must take action to give seabirds their best chance to overcome these compounding threats. https://t.co/FZY6dBiB8N
