More than half of Earth’s migratory bird species are declining, according to comprehensive assessment of 3380 species; data-informed approaches to protecting them across their full annual migratory cycles show promise Read Full Article #BirdMigration #…
🐦 Over half of the world's 3,380+ migratory bird species are declining due to habitat loss, invasive species, collisions, hunting, pet trade, pesticides, and fishing nets.
🌎 A new comprehensive assessment reveals that a focus on protecting birds' entire annual cycles – including breeding grounds, nonbreeding habitats, and migratory routes – is crucial for their survival.
🔬 Advances in tracking devices, genetics, and citizen science have transformed our understanding of migratory birds' habits and risks, enabling more targeted conservation efforts.
🤝 International cooperation and proactive government action, as seen in initiatives like "Road to Recovery," are essential to reverse bird declines before species become endangered.
