Birds are threatened in a host of different ways. These include the loss of habitat; the use of pesticides; fishing practices; climate change; the onslaught by invasive species; and a lack of resources. As a result hundreds of bird species are on track toward extinction.
American Bird Conservancy (ABC) was founded in 1994. The goals of the organization are aimed at creating: “An Americas-wide landscape where diverse interests collaborate to ensure that native bird species and their habitats are protected … where their protection is valued by society…and where they are routinely considered in all land-use and policy decision-making.” Dr. David Wiedenfeld will join us to discuss ABC’s work with special focus on the threats to birds found in Virginia’s Piedmont.
