Reauthorizing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act

[shireen]

From American Bird Conservancy:

A major source of bird conservation funding has expired, and without reauthorization, the well-being of our beautiful migrant songbirds could fall victim to federal spending cuts.


Senators need to hear from bird conservationists like you today that the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act must continue to be funded. Will you give 2 minutes of your time to help?


NMBCA is the only federal U.S. grants program specifically dedicated to the conservation of our migrant birds that is available throughout the Americas. It has a proven track-record of success, having supported 333 projects in 48 U.S. states/territories and 36 other countries since its inception in 2002. Advances in conservation for many declining species, such as the Cerulean Warbler, owe much to the NMBCA.


Please tell your Senators how important the NMBCA is, and encourage them to take up S.690, a bi-partisan bill introduced by Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) to reauthorize the Act before this session of Congress ends.

The website is getting slammed right now, they're probably not used to this much traffic. Please keep trying!

A lovely Cerulean Warbler from that website (still not seen one, elusive little rascals!)
