Dear Pamela,
?
It's been ten years since American Bird Conservancy (ABC) published its monumental report, "The Impact of the Nation's Most Widely
Used Insecticides on Birds," which documented impacts from neonicotinoids (aka neonics), toxic insecticides that harm birds, the insects that sustain them, and the ecosystems they rely on.
?
A decade later, not much has changed in the regulatory landscape, though the body of knowledge and evidence about the harm caused
by neonics has developed significantly. ABC's new report, called ¡°Neonicotinoid insecticides: Failing to come to grips with a predictable environmental disaster,¡± reviews the latest research on neonicotinoids¡¯ wildlife and ecosystem impacts.
?
Join American Bird Conservancy (ABC) on Wednesday, July 19 at 4:00 PM Eastern for a
about the impact of neonics on birds, what can and should be done to protect wild birds and their habitat ¡ª and how you can help.
