Report to Congress. 6108. Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Fund. 6109. Authorization of appropriations. § 6101. Findings Congress finds that— (1) of the nearly 800 bird species known to occur in the United States, approximately 500 migrate among countries, and the large major- ity of those species, the neotropical migrants, winter in Latin America and the Caribbean but breed in Canada and the United States; (2) neotropical migratory bird species pro- vide invaluable environmental, economic, rec- reational, and aesthetic benefits to the United States, as well as to the Western Hemisphere; (3)(A) many neotropical migratory bird pop- ulations, once considered common, are in de- cline, and some have declined to the point that their long-term survival in the wild is in jeopardy; and (B) the primary reason for the decline in the populations of those species is habitat loss and degradation (including pollution and contami- nation) across the species’ range; and (4)(A) because neotropical migratory birds range across numerous international borders each year, their conservation requires the commitment and effort of all countries along their migration routes; and (B) although numerous initiatives exist to conserve migratory birds and their habitat, those initiatives can be significantly strength- ened and enhanced by increased coordination.
