Conservation and Activism
 
One of the greatest threats to birds is collisions with windows on houses and office buildings. The American Bird Conservancy provides very useful information on preventing window strikes. Further information can be found in ABC's Birds and Collisions resource.


 
Studies suggest that lighting on offshore oil and gas platforms can be fatal to migrating songbirds. Click here to read about the studies, and about how American Bird Conservancy and other conservation organizations suggest preventing these fatalities.


 
Consider joining the 40 Gallon Challenge, a nationwide effort to conserve water. Learn about the campaign here.
