A terrifying study has found that the exact same pesticides that are a key culprit in the massive global bee die-off are now killing birds as well.
The study finds that neonic pesticides are killing warblers, swallows, starlings and thrushes nearly as fast as the bees -- at current rates, 35 percent of the bird population could disappear in just 10 years in the areas studied.
Our efforts are gaining momentum. Hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members helped win a landmark EU-wide ban on toxic neonics.
But Bayer -- one of the biggest producers of these deadly pesticides -- has an army of lawyers and million-dollar lobbyists trying to overturn Europe's ban. The only way we can win is if we all fight back together. Can you make a monthly donation so we can keep up the fight to protect the bees and birds?
