You give us strength

The recent State of the Birds Report documents more than half of our nation’s bird species are in decline. This is shocking news. The trend is reflected in nearly all major habitats except one—wetlands. It is easy to feel helpless when reading such stories... But the facts show that more than 40 years of investment in the protection of crucial wetland habitat has made a difference in Waterfowl populations as well as other birds that utilize that habitat. Investment and advocacy can and do make a difference!

Our Environmental Action Committee (EAC), led by long-time Environmental Advocate, Shani Kleinhaus, and Chair, Annie Yang, has a track record of getting positive results. From the decades-long effort to protect Coyote Valley, to working with city planners to preserve green spaces that include bird friendly habitat, or inspiring corporate campuses to make use of bird-safe design, our voice for the environment is heard loud and clear. Because of our work, local municipalities are even adopting dark sky ordinances which protect migrating birds. These local issues have national and even global impact because the Bay Area is an Important Bird Area (IBA) providing signature habitats for more than 400 bird species.
