The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the American West, and the wetlands and forests along its tributaries provide critical habitat for hundreds of species of birds—and water for millions of Americans. Increased demand, drought, and extreme heat threaten the water even as new science reveals the surprising diversity of migratory birds that rely on it. In Phoenix, and throughout the arid West, communities and scientists are coming together to secure resilient rivers, wetlands, and lakes to create the resilient water supply that birds and people need.
