Dear US Fish and Wildlife Service Director Rowan Gould:

I am writing to support your sponsorship of the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act, which aims to promote the conservation and perpetuation of species of migratory birds.

There are several factors that interfere with birds' migration — the most compelling of which are perhaps human activity and climate change. Because migratory birds often pass through various countries, they encounter all types of human civilization. The problem here is that all countries differ in the ways they view and treat animals.

Climate change also affects migrations, as it can confuse birds with regards to timing of the migration. Timing of the migrations pertains directly to breeding times and patterns, so if the timing of a migration is off, breeding for that year may not happen as it should.

Please continue to work toward restoring and preserving our migratory birds!

Thank you for your time.
