In this Issue: Our Work on Great Salt Lake, Next Generation of Bird Lovers, and the Yakutat Tern Festival
| The largest saline lake in the Western Hemisphere, Great Salt Lake, provides irreplaceable habitat and is a key nesting, breeding, and stopover point for some 12 million migratory birds annually, representing 339 species. But it's also facing a sharp decline in water levels. That's why we have been a long-time champion for Great Salt Lake and its surrounding wetlands. Read on for a detailed look at our ongoing work at Great Salt Lake over the last 30 years. | | | | |

| The very same bird you admire at the park or at home has likely been seen and admired by people in many countries, cities, and towns across the Western Hemisphere. In partnership with the Rock Creek Songbirds initiative, students at Sacred Heart School in Washington, D.C. are helping protect critical habitats for migratory birds while learning about their own connections to faraway places. Watch this YouTube short film to learn more about this next generation of bird lovers. | | | | |

| The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a vital law that guides how federal agencies assess the potential environmental impacts of proposed actions and engage with communities. Just last month, the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) proposed a rule to roll back nearly 50 years of regulations that have been issued to implement NEPA. We cannot afford to lose our bedrock environmental law. Take action now and tell the CEQ not to dismantle NEPA regulations. | | | | |
