In one night, approximately 1,500 migratory songbirds died after flying into Chicago's McCormick Place, attracted to the building's bright lights. It's a tragedy that could've been prevented with the flick of a light switch.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act is supposed to stop careless bird-killings like these. But the Trump administration gutted that crucial wildlife law with a rule, making it impossible to enforce. Thanks to legal work by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Biden administration revoked the rule.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service then promised to create its own rule to enforce the Act — including by curbing light pollution during migration and requiring more bird-friendly architecture. Yet more than two years later, the agency still hasn't acted. Meanwhile, every day, countless other birds die needlessly across the country, striking glass that could be modified to become bird-friendly and prevent these tragic deaths.
Tell the Service it's long past time to enforce the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
