Recent data assembled by National Audubon Society and Cornel Lab or Ornithology has given us valuable insights about what we need to do to preserve nature, especially in light of global climate change - and you can help! We know now that in order to sustain bird species, we need to keep a focus on the pristine wild places of the world that are crucial breeding birds. But we have learned that is is just as important to focus on the the common birds that are so familiar to us. Almost all the birds we take for granted - the robins, jays, chickadees, sparrows, and finches, among other - are in severe decline all across the continent. This knowledge has prompted a new effort to keep common birds common. The good news is: now, more than ever before in our history - your backyard can make a valuable contribution to the survival of the birds we love.
