The threats facing the world's populations of bird species are at an unparalleled and increasing level. Bird Life International reports that 1 out of every 8 bird species are currently faced with extinction risk, roughly 1,200 species! The purpose of this group is to discuss the problems and solutions facing the world's birds, and to spread the word about current threats and recent victories. I hope both birders and academics alike will contribute.

I anticipate (hope) that this group will grow and the discussions will develop over time. PLEASE exercise common courtesy when discussing topics. Do not let it get personal, but feel free to share your opinion/experience. Above all, educate yourself and take action!
