More than 500 species of birds can fade over the next century, and the researchers, calling for urgent “special recovery programs” such as captive education and restoring habitats to save unique species.
Birds will be like the puff, the European turtle dove and the great Bustard are among those that disappear from our sky if the trends continue, according to the paper. They threaten their loss by detecting ecosystems all over the world.
“We are facing an unprecedented bird extinction crisis in the modern era.” It is three times the number of birds that have become extinct in the previous 500 years.
PaperPublished in Nature Ecology and Evolutionand Examine data from approximately 10,000 birds (almost all known and exist) and IUCN data has been used to predict the risk of extinction. Hi loss – mainly driven by expansion and condensation of agriculture – appeared as the most important species extinction engine.
But even if the loss of habitats, hunting and climate collapsing stops today, about 250 species may still die, as it is already swinging on the brink of extinction. The researchers have found that local conservation efforts may feel small but necessary to save species of extinction. “Many birds are already threatened with the point that reducing human effects alone will not save them. These types need special recovery programs, such as raising and habitat projects, to survive,” Stewart said.
Conservation success stories show that it is possible to return the species from the edge of extinction.
By 1987, and Condor has become extinct in California – the largest bird in North America – In the wild. There were about 22 birds in captivity, then they were raised and released; Now there is a population 350 in the wilderness.
In the United Kingdom, Bettern-a shy-dancer-dance-overcrowded bird in the 1970s has become extinct because his homeland has drained cultivation. Now, thanks to the restoration of habitats, their population is at its highest level More than 200 years oldWith more than 280 flourishing males recorded last year.
“Stopping threats is not enough. Up to 250-350 species will require supplementary memorization measures … to survive in the next century,” said Professor Manuella Gonzalez-Sor
Delay The world’s case report in the world I found approximately half of the birds in the planet decreased. The loss of habitats, registration, gas species, exploitation of natural resources and climate collapse are highlighted as the main threats.
“There is no magic bullet to solve the extinction crisis,” said Stewart Botsher, Senior Scientist at Birdlife International, who was not involved in the research. “Protected areas can play a major role, while abandoning threats from agriculture, registration, fisheries, fishing and other sources is necessary. However, some species require targeted recovery efforts, which include interventions such as captive education and its release, displacement, or supplementary nutrition, to overcome barriers that prevent recovery.
“This paper adds to an increasing group of evidence that shows that the procedures across the entire framework will be necessary to prevent human procedures from leading the extinct species.”
