Dear Janice,
I wanted you to be among the first to know that a new study—led by
Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientists—has found that *the breeding
population of birds in the U.S. and Canada has dropped nearly 30% since
1970.*
The study, published in the journal /Science/ today by Cornell Lab
scientists Ken Rosenberg, Adriaan Dokter, and Laura Helft, and
collaborators at six other institutions—found that nearly 3 billion
birds have vanished in our lifetime. These staggering losses have
occurred across all habitats, from grasslands to the Arctic, shorelines
to forests—and have taken a massive toll on even common species, such as
sparrows, warblers, blackbirds.
If you have ever contributed citizen-science data or know someone who
has, consider this: the findings emerged from new techniques to detect
the volume of migratory birds aloft using weather radar, as well as
nearly 50 years of bird-monitoring data, including citizen-science
records. They show what we might not have perceived otherwise—a rapid
loss of more than a quarter of our nations’ bird populations.
This new knowledge is a wake-up call—a signal that our natural systems
are losing the ability to support the richness and diversity of life
that they once did just decades ago. Because you are part of our choir
of people who love birds and nature, we need you more than ever to join
us in lifting collective voices and influencing change.
Birds are resilient when we give them a chance—the data show that too.
Waterfowl are up by 56%, and raptors have increased by 200% thanks to
focused conservation funding and protections.
*I urge you to share today’s news with your friends and communities.*
Consider how you can influence change—whether social, civic, or
personal—to raise awareness and help bring birds back.
Thank you for your ongoing support—it made this research possible. To
