When it comes to bird conservation, even the smallest actions can have powerful effects, including what you pour into your cup each morning!
Unfortunately, most coffee on the market today is farmed with practices that leave no place for birds, or worse, actively destroy forest habitat. And when forests disappear, birds disappear, too.
The Paisajes Sostenibles (PaSos) project, featured in this video, is working with producers to restore degraded lands in an important area for migratory birds Colombia. They do this by:
🌳 increasing tree cover,
🌱planting native species in strategic areas,
🧑🌾and carrying out good agricultural practices, such as eliminating or reducing pesticide use and water source pollution.
Do your part to support this work by buying bird-friendly coffee! And don’t forget that American Bird Conservancy Members get 15% off at Birds and Beans Coffee, which only sells Smithsonian-certified Bird Friendly® coffee.
