Governor Mark Dayton has proclaimed 2018 the Year of the Bird in Minnesota. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) was passed 100 years ago and this proclamation recognizes that bird conservation is just as important now as it was then.
People around the world are celebrating 2018 as Year of the Bird to mark the centennial of the MBTA, one of the oldest wildlife protection laws in the United States. In honor of this milestone, National Geographic, Audubon, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BirdLife International, and dozens of other partners joined forces to celebrate 2018 as the Year of the Bird.
