Why Protect Birds?
Birds Provide Ecosystem Services
Birds play a critical role in food webs and provide many services that benefit humans and other wildlife, including pollination, seed dispersal, and control of pests and insects.
Birdwatching Boosts the Economy
Nearly 100 million U.S. adults are birdwatchers, with trip and equipment expenditures contributing $279 billion in economic output and 1.4 million jobs.
Birds Have Immeasurable Cultural Value
Birds have been valued across cultures for the entirety of recorded human history. The deaths of billions of birds from collisions are an immeasurable loss for humanity.
The Highest Numbers of Collisions Occur During Migration
Artificial light attracts birds, disrupting their migrations and drawing them close to the hazards of buildings and glass. Make glass visible to birds and turn your lights out during March-June and August-November to prevent collision deaths.
You can also use BirdCast to track and learn about migration near you.
