How You Can Help

Share the Report on Social Media

About one in three American adults is a birdwatcher, and polls show the majority of Americans care about the environment. But many people aren’t aware of how steep and persistent the population declines among birds are. To help raise awareness, the State of the Birds team has created social media assets for use on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, X, and BlueSky.

Share these infographics, links, and videos to help people discover this important issue. The link will take you to a Trello board with assets and sample posts arranged in a suggested order. Assets are free to use in posts about the State of the Birds report and may be used in any order. Use the hashtag #StateOfTheBirds to help people follow this campaign.

Text reads: Act Now for the birds against a background of bird cutouts.
View and download social media images, videos, and text to help publicize the State of the Birds report.
