Welcome to the WatchList 2007 press room. This analysis is the second in an ongoing series of Audubon State of the Birds reports.

Audubon and the America Bird Conservancy have joined forces to rally conservationists around America's most imperiled birds. WatchList 2007, a new analysis from these leading bird conservation organizations, identifies 178 species in the continental U.S. and 39 in Hawaii that are in need of immediate conservation help. It is a call to action, for all who care about birds, other wildlife and the environment. Together, we can help save species fighting for survival amid a convergence of environmental challenges including habitat loss, invasive species and global warming.

The science and communications staff at Audubon and American Bird Conservancy are eager to assist you in bringing this important story to your audience.
