Help Save Our Birds
I felt an insane necessity when reading the recent request for donations from the National Audubon Society to participate in the saving of the Allen’s Hummingbird and all other birds from extinction to pass this on.
Ken Rosenberg, a conservation biologist with Road to Recovery, characterized the crisis facing more than half of bird species in the U.S. He says “It’s death by a million cuts.” For birds like the Allen’s Hummingbird, decades of habitat loss and degradation, disturbance from people and pets, and climate change have left them in a worrying decline. And this unique hummingbird is projected to lose up to 90% of its breeding range by the end of the century if we fail to take immediate climate action.
The article can be seen on their website along with a request to donate towards this most important cause. Thanks in advance for your participation. audubonconnect@audubon.org
