Now more than ever, we need investments like the Farm Bill to address habitat loss and help birds recover. As the Farm Bill moves through Congress, our Chief Conservation Officer, Marshall Johnson, explains how strengthening the bill's key provisions can benefit birds while supporting working lands and rural economies.

With the institute's Herz Fellowship, we're bringing this conservation know-how global. To date, the Seabird Institute's restoration techniques have benefited about a third of seabird species worldwide! By taking this knowledge back to their home countries, see how this past year's Herz Fellows plan to support seabird conservation in coastal Ecuador, Chilean Patagonia, and northeastern Brazil.

That's why scientists, including researchers and fellows from our Seabird Institute, are hoping to get a more detailed picture of the paths the birds take—and where intervention might be warranted. From the northeastern United States to Brazil, see this team's findings and how it will help imperiled Roseate Terns. Rafael Revoredo prepares to release a tagged Roseate Tern.
