THE
To mark the centennial of the US Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), BirdLife is joining forces with
National Geographic, Cornell Lab of Ornithology and our US Partner, Audubon, to celebrate the
wonder of birds through a year of storytelling. But a recent reinterpretation of the MBTA means
we need to stand up and sing for the rights of migratory birds louder and prouder than ever
