Art and science pair up to tell the stories of Birds in Peril. The show is curated by the Havre de Grace Green Team and will be on exhibition from March 28th -May 11th. Art has been used to document various global problems for ages. Birds in Peril will showcase the current struggles of the bird population. Bird populations world-wide are experiencing declines due to many factors, including loss of habitat, global warming, sea-level rise, over-hunting, light pollution, predation by feral cats, changing landscape along migration routes, and competition with invasive species. Scientists are working to identify solutions to these challenges to help soften the impact of human instigated conflict to try to save some of the most imperiled species. Some efforts to save these species are complicated and global in scale, other efforts that can be addressed at the local, even backyard, scale. The exhibition will serve as a vehicle to educate visitors of the miraculous efforts, hardships, and challenges birds face in surviving the man-altered landscape. The show correlates with International Migratory Bird Day, the second Saturday in May as part of the HdG Green Team’s Bird City programming.
