Congratulations to Janice Bezanson, Deborah Clark, Ann Hamilton, and Marty Leonard
Career-focused conservation science and service for high school students. TLC for the Planet.
Over the last 100 years, urban sprawl has transformed 150 million acres of farmland and native habitats across the United States into buildings, hardscape, and 40 million acres of highly manicured lawns. Filled with exotic plants, these urban landscapes no longer support the healthy, functioning ecosystems that birds and wildlife need.
Building strikes are the number two cause of human-related bird mortality, killing millions of birds each year. Bird-friendly Building efforts and Lights Out programs can help us counteract this problem in our urban areas.
Want to make sure your birding observations count towards more than a sense of satisfaction?
Transforming communities into places where birds thrive and people prosper.
