Overuse of pesticides, urban sprawl, habitat destruction, and invasive species all are major threats to birds in the Western Hemisphere. Birds also die from collisions with windows and predation by cats. Join Steve Holmer, Vice-President of Policy for American Bird Conservancy, for a discussion of opportunities to advance bird conservation through advocacy. Steve highlights pending federal bills and regulations, as well as legislation in Virginia that citizens can support to better protect the birds they love.
American Bird Conservancy is a national non-profit membership organization with the mission of conserving wild birds and their habitats throughout the Americas.
