Protect the Yellow-billed Loon!
In response to a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now reviewing the yellow-billed loon for protection under the Endangered Species Act. The yellow-billed loon is one of the rarest and most vulnerable birds in the United States, with its primary nesting habitat in Alaska threatened by rampant oil and gas leasing and development.
