What You Can Do to Help the Birds of Nova Scotia
1. Don't use cosmetic pesticides. Support a province wide ban on cosmetic pesticides as Ontario and Quebec have done. Follow up by creating bird habitat by planting bird-friendly native species.
2. Encourage the Government of Nova Scotia to protect 12% of the province as promised in the Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act.
3. Most shorebirds are in serious decline. Support the development of a provincial coastal strategy which protects birds and their habitat. When on the beach make sure you and your pets don’t disturb the birds.
4. Keep your cat indoors.
5. Millions of birds are killed in each year as a result of colliding with the windows of buildings, big and small. Make sure your home or office is not killing birds.
6. Please support organizations which help birds such as the Nova Scotia Bird Society, Bird Studies Canada, Ecology Action Centre and many other conservation organizations.
