"Birds matter not least because amazing migrations remind us what an interconnected web we live in, from pole to pole."

—Bill McKibben
"Birds have always been are our biological barometers. From the ‘canary in the coal mine’ to weather predictions, documentation of climate change, monitoring habitat health, urban noise, and the introduction of spring. Birds are ‘man’s next best friend.’"

—Carla Dove
"Birds Matter. Because they are indicator species. Our fates intertwined."

— Carmen Danae Azor
"Birds hold wisdom. The indigenous people know that to be true. They are messengers. To allow or cause a species to become extinct is to lose that knowledge. Forever."

—Cindy Fogle
