Raptors, foxes, coyotes, and other predators keep Massachusetts? ecosystems in balance. But in recent years, shocking numbers of these iconic creatures have been sickened or killed after preying on rodents poisoned with second-generation anti-coagulant rodenticides (SGARs). 

Mass Audubon?s Rescue Raptors initiative supports local campaigns in communities across Massachusetts to reduce the use of these poisons. To succeed, we?ll need the help of landowners, pest control professionals, and volunteer wildlife advocates in every community in our state.
