The Full Story
Modern bird conservation law developed gradually, but a major milestone was the UK's Protection of Birds Act of 1954. Earlier protective efforts existed in some countries, especially for seabirds and game birds, but the 20th century brought broader legal protection. In the United States, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 was another landmark. These laws reflected growing concern about habitat loss, hunting, and declining bird populations.
