Protect Yellow-billed Cuckoos From Climate Change

Target: Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior, United States of America

Goal: Advocate for the protection of the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is threatened by habitat loss and climate change.

The yellow-billed cuckoo is a bird species that is native to the western United States and Mexico. It is a migratory bird that depends on riparian habitats, such as river corridors and wetlands, for breeding and foraging. Unfortunately, the yellow-billed cuckoo is under threat due to habitat loss and climate change.

The breeding and foraging habitats of the yellow-billed cuckoo have been significantly impacted by the loss and degradation of riparian habitats brought on by human activities, such as land-use changes and dam construction. The time of spring and the availability of insects, which are crucial food sources for the cuckoo throughout its breeding season, are also being impacted by climate change.

We must act quickly to address this problem and safeguard the yellow-billed cuckoo and its habitat. Sign below and demand that those in power promote mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change and ensure the maintenance and restoration of riparian habitats.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Secretary Haaland,

I am writing to urge you to advocate for the protection of the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is threatened by habitat loss and climate change.

The yellow-billed cuckoo is a migratory bird species that depends on riparian habitats for breeding and foraging. Unfortunately, these habitats are under threat due to human activities, such as land-use changes and dam construction, as well as climate change.

The loss and degradation of riparian habitats have severely impacted the yellow-billed cuckoo’s breeding and foraging habitats. Additionally, climate change is affecting the timing of spring and the availability of insects, which are essential food sources for the cuckoo during its breeding season.

To address this issue, we must take immediate action to protect the yellow-billed cuckoo and its habitat. We urge you to support the conservation and restoration of riparian habitats, as well as promote climate change mitigation and adaptation measures.

The protection of the yellow-billed cuckoo is essential not only for the survival of this iconic bird species but also for the health and sustainability of riparian ecosystems.

We urge you to take immediate action and support the protection of the yellow-billed cuckoo to preserve the health and sustainability of our natural environment.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
