SGARs and Wildlife
Second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) are devastating our native wildlife at an alarming rate. These toxic chemicals do not just harm rodents—they also poison the predators that consume them, including hawks, owls, foxes, and other essential species in our ecosystems.
You have the power to make a difference in your community. Raising awareness is the first step toward real change. By educating your neighbors, local businesses, and decision-makers, you can help reduce the use of these dangerous substances and protect the wildlife we all value.
To support your advocacy efforts, Mass Audubon has created a Rescue Raptors Toolkit—a comprehensive resource filled with facts, tips, and guidance to help you speak out against the use of SGARs in your area.
Visit the link below to explore the toolkit and learn how you can take action.

For educational outreach materials, please also visit our "Printable Flyers" page where you can download handouts and share vital information about the dangers of SGARs with your community.
Together, we can protect our wildlife and build a healthier, safer environment for all.
