SAVE THE BIRDS

Monday, 08 June 2009 09:53

As with other wildlife, birds live in suitable habitat along with their evolution. They have been able gradually evolve to adapt extreme weather of hot desert and cold pole. But abrupt climate change put their adaptive ability in jeopardy.

The IUCN have shown us that even for the non threatened bird species, quarter of them is vulnerable to climate change. This figure is worse in the threatened species that most of them (more than 80%) are vulnerable to climate change.

The figure could still change to worse if we fail to preserve the forest.
