Help Save Cerulean Warblers

Without serious, ongoing conservation efforts, the songs of these and many other neotropical birds may fade from America's wild places.

Help save cerulean warblers and other neotropical birds. Urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor legislation reauthorizing the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (H.R. 5756) to protect these birds..

The Act provides millions of dollars for vital conservation efforts, including monitoring efforts, habitat restoration, education, and other projects in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Since its inception in 2002, the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act has supported vital conservation projects in 44 U.S. states and territories, 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries, and 12 Canadian provinces, benefitting roughly 3 million acres of= migratory bird habitat.

If not for projects like these, neotropical migratory birds like the Cerulean warbler might be even more imperiled. Yet many essential conservation projects remain unfunded.

Congressmen Ron Kind (D-WI) and Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD) have introduced this vital legislation that will reauthorize the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act at increased funding levels. It's one of the most important bird conservation bills that Congress will consider this session, and we need your help to ensure its passage.

Urge your Representative to cosponsor the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act and speak out for birds in our backyards and across the world.
