This bill would create an official "Urban Bird Treaty Program" run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect birds and habitats in cities and towns. It also sets up a competitive grant program, managed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, funding bird-habitat projects, research, and training.
Local governments, Native American tribes, nonprofits, community organizations, and universities would partner in the program and could apply for grants. Birdwatchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and communities interested in bird conservation are also affected.
Supporters point to declining bird populations, the economic impact of birdwatching, and public health benefits from keeping bird populations spread out. The bill does not regulate private individuals or businesses; it establishes a voluntary program and grant funding.
