Poisonous pesticides had caused the number of nesting pairs to dwindle to just a few hundred. Bird lovers discovered that DDT was behind the decline and it was banned, but that was just the beginning of this magnificent bird’s recovery. Through the decades, the Bald Eagle was shielded by the Endangered Species Act, one of our most effective laws for protecting vulnerable species. It’s one of many, many birds that owe their survival today in part to the ESA’s safety net. But the ESA is one of the 125 conservation rules and policies that have suffered under the outgoing administration’s all-out assault on birds and the environment. At a time when climate change threatens the survival of 389 bird species, we need a strong ESA more than ever—[and to restore it and other key protections to full strength, we need you.]( As we look ahead to opportunities to repair the damage done during these past four years, committed bird lovers must come together to give birds their best chance to survive and thrive.
