Stop A Deadly Journey for Birds

The Issue

Attracted by the steady glow of lights, millions of birds are killed during their annual night migrations as they collide with communications towers and related structures. But many of the deaths could be prevented.

After years of urging by Defenders and our conservation partners, the Federal Communications Commission is finally undertaking an environmental review of its tower registration program -- and the agency needs to hear from you.

Take action now: Urge FCC officials to help prevent needless bird deaths and conduct a thorough review of communications structures.
