Approximately 2.9 billion birds have disappeared in Canada and the United States since 1970, a population decrease of 29 per cent. Birdlife Internationals State of the Worlds Birds report states data from the IUCN Red List show that 49% of bird species populations worldwide (5,412) are declining, while 38% (4,234) are stable, just 6% (659) are increasing, and 6% (693) have unknown trends. Avian aerial insectivores have been suffering large population declines for decades.

They have experienced the steepest population declines of any group of birds in Canada (North American Bird Conservation Initiative Canada, 2019). Multiple synergistic factors are contributing to this decline including the global decline in insects (prey), habitat loss, climate change, and changing conditions on migratory habitat or stopover grounds (Spiller & Dettmers, 2019). To help reduce and recover at-risk swallow populations, biologist Rachel Darvill with Goldeneye Ecological Services developed and manages the Upper Columbia Swallow Habitat Enhancement Project (UCSHEP) (2021-2026), a project administered by Wildsight Golden.
