Dig deeper into the data 📊📈 The #Birdcrime Appendices is almost a whole report in itself, with all the detail about raptor persecution in 2021 and beyond. It shows that shooting was the most prevalent incident type, and much more: https://t.co/JqqGWGenuj

A favorite landscape for thousands of migratory & endemic birds, a center of biodiversity & the first line of coastal defense against climate change, the Americas’ mangroves are vital for both people & birds. Read how @AudubonAmericas aims to protect them. https://t.co/m36cxn2KRa

Where is #Birdcrime happening? 🗺️🦅 In 2021, as in previous years, we’re seeing a strong correlation with land managed for gamebird shooting. This map shows data from 2007-2021.

🌊 The BirdLife family is fighting for nature at the climate & biodiversity COPs. 🌳 @BirdLife_CEO Patricia Zurita shares how our science shows that the time for talking is over. World leaders must take action now! ➡️ https://t.co/AaCUzL42Wt #COP27 #COP15 #StateOfTheWorldsBirds https://t.co/bCZmdswAzV

🔥 Much of the greenhouse gases that are causing the #ClimateCrisis come from energy production. But it doesn’t have to be this way. ☀ Renewable energy sources powered by the sun, wind and water are clean, affordable and more sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. #COP27

Migratory birds have shown large declines in the last 50 years according to the 2022 #StateOfTheBirds report. But planting native trees & shrubs provides essential habitat—and they're great for people too. Learn more about the benefits of #PlantsForBirds: https://t.co/tm6X1ZAfeD

🦅 The tool informs projects on where #RenewableEnergy could impact #birds and should be avoided so that they are developed in the most appropriate locations. ➡ https://t.co/egFwUUMYM1 https://t.co/H4qneTuji4

🚨 But if the transition is not planned responsibly, it can actually cause damage to nature, such as #birds being killed by colliding with wind turbines. To address this, BirdLife has developed AVISTEP - the Avian Sensitivity Tool for Energy Planning. #TogetherForImplementation

⚠️The #Birdcrime report 2021 is out today. Another year, and the killing continues. Please read the report and share. Everyone needs to know what our birds of prey are up against. (Warning: contains distressing content) Read the report here➡️ https://t.co/scrH0gdtmi https://t.co/xjjd8VAjSz

“The Salton Sea is an integral part of the migratory journey of so many species of waterbirds, and visiting the Sea during migration allowed me to see that shorebirds are still able to feed along the Sea’s muddy shoreline.” - Andrea Jones, @AudubonCA https://t.co/GGga98E0V8
