New research published in the journal <em>Science<\/em> shows massive losses among U.S. bird populations\u2014with steep declines in every habitat. <a href=\"https:\/\/sotb2019.wpenginepowered.com\/steep-declines\/\">More about the declines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8230;But Recovery Is Possible When We Invest in Birds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look no farther than the national bird of the United States. In 1970 only a few hundred Bald Eagle pairs remained in the lower 48 states. Federal and state protections sparked a remarkable recovery. The Bald Eagle was delisted as an Endangered Species in 2007, and today 30,000+ eagle pairs live in the U.S.A. We can achieve similar successes with other precious species. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2019\/achieving-recoveries\/\">Here&#8217;s how to turn the declines around<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group well-gray is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Past State of the Birds Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2017\">2017 State of the Birds: Farm Bill Special Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateofthebirds.org\/2016\">The State of North America&#8217;s Birds 2016<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2014\/\">2014 State of the Birds Report<\/a> Also available: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2014-SotB_FINAL.pdf\">PDF version<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2013\">2013 State of the Birds Report: Private Lands<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2011\">2011 State of the Birds Report: Public Lands &amp; Waters<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2010\">2010 State of the Birds Report: Climate Change<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stateofthebirds.org\/2009\">2009 State of the Birds Report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS NABCI?
