In New Jersey, there was found to be an overwhelming number of endangered birds within the area, 33 to be specific. In order to make sure that these birds don't get harmed by pollution, and other human-induced dangers, the state of New Jersey is attempting to buy land on the Sorel headland, in order to provide a sanctuary for the birds. Each endangered bird breed was assessed on their threats for over 20 years in order to properly save the animals. The National Trust for Jersey is putting much effort into this program for the "Birds on the Edge Project," which saves birds that are threatened or endangered. The birds face different levels of danger based on the threats, and the type of bird, and were divided. New Jersey is performing a very bold action by valuing the environment and its species, and facing criticism. Hopefully many other states and countries will follow in Jersey's footsteps.
