For the first time since 1937, collared hunting has been completely banned in the state of Ohio in the United States. The population of the species has fallen to less than 1% of its level in the early 1980s. The birds are endangered. The collar ranges from the southern Appalachians to Alaska and is considered the most popular game bird in North America. The species is threatened by the lack of suitable habitat and the West Nile virus. Birds of prey and corvids are particularly vulnerable. A similar situation was also observed in other regions of the eastern United States. For example, in 2015 hunting for collars was banned in Indiana, and in 2019 - in New Jersey. The world is burning, and we are in Zen.
