"One in nine migratory birds are threatened with extinction and 45% of
migratory species such as cuckoos, turtle doves and Arctic terns are in
decline, according to a global report.
The migratory slender-billed curlew was officially declared extinct last year,
the first global bird extinction in mainland Eurasia and Africa in recent
centuries. Worldwide, seven migratory bird species have been confirmed or are
suspected to have become extinct over the last 150 years.
The threats to migratory birds, which are overwhelmingly caused by humans and
include the intensification of farming, unsustainable hunting, pollution,
invasive species and global heating, were revealed in the
State of the World’s
Birds report."
