 HELLO WORLD LEADERS

We are facing a global emergency. 

For the first time in history we are all being impacted by global overheating, climate crisis, and unprecedented extreme weather events that are more frequent, more severe, and last longer.

  What do you think? Can birds help combat the catastrophic impacts of  climate chaos ? YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!
