Service Announces $650, 000 in Funding to 10 Cities for Urban Conservation Treaty for Migratory Birds
The Urban Bird Treaty program, administered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), brings together private citizens, as well as federal, state, and municipal agencies and non-governmental organizations to conserve migratory birds through education programs, participation in citizen science, conservation and habitat improvement strategies, and reducing hazards to birds in urban/suburban areas.
"For the vast majority of people, birds represent their most frequent contact with wildlife. Birds are a valuable resource, contributing aesthetically, culturally, scientifically, and economically to America's citizens. By taking steps to conserve birds and their habitat, we can also make our communities better places to live," said Service Director Dan Ashe.
