If the Migratory Bird Treaty Act were weakened or eliminated, industries would have less incentive to comply with environmental regulations and could cause significant harm to bird populations. By protecting bird populations through the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Congress can help to preserve and enhance the ecological and climate benefits provided by birds. The Act supports the conservation and restoration of bird habitats, which can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure the long-term resilience of ecosystems.
