Demand for paper, packaging, and pulp is exploding. Sadly, the world's rainforests are paying the price for it. One of the world's largest and most notorious corporations is back in the headlines for their continued destruction of rainforests, this time in Indonesia.

The rainforests of Indonesia are one of earth’s most biologically and culturally rich landscapes. The world’s largest archipelago, Indonesia consists of almost 18,000 islands spanning between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.  It is home to hundreds of distinct Indigenous languages and over 3,000 animal species including Sumatran tigers, pygmy elephants, rhinoceros and orangutans.

Building collisions kill 300 million to a billion birds EACH year, and many of these needless deaths can be prevented. This Bird-Safe Buildings Act is a common-sense solution to help birds avoid collisions with buildings by promoting bird-friendly materials and design features at federal buildings.
