A global report has recently warned that one in every nine migratory birds is at risk of extinction. The critical status of species such as seabirds and shorebirds is a serious alarm for the environment.

A new global report emphasizes that one in every nine migratory birds is at risk of extinction. This alarming report particularly warns about species such as seabirds and northern canaries that are rapidly declining.

The Dire Situation of Migratory Birds

The report shows that 45 percent of migratory species like seabirds and northern canaries have experienced a severe population decline. Meanwhile, a bird known as the slender-billed curlew was officially declared extinct last year, marking the first extinction of birds in the mainland territories of Eurasia and Africa in recent centuries.

Over the past 150 years, seven migratory bird species have been confirmed or suspected to be extinct globally. The decline in migratory bird populations not only indicates serious environmental problems but also serves as a warning for all ecosystems dependent on these birds.

Environmental and Social Impacts

This decline in bird populations not only harms biodiversity but can also negatively impact agriculture and food supply. Migratory birds play a vital role in pollination and pest control, and their destruction could lead to increased environmental problems.

In this regard, international conferences and global commitments for the protection of birds and their habitats are being held to address this crisis. But will these commitments be strong and effective enough? This question remains unanswered.
