2010 State of the Birds Report: Birds and Climate Change Release
On Thursday March 11th, Secretary of the Interior Salazar announced the release of a new State of the Birds Report: Birds and Climate Change. This report was a joint effort of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Audubon, American Bird Conservancy and others. It follows on the 2009 State of the Birds Report which revealed that nearly a quarter of North American bird species are experiencing serious long-term declines. The Birds and Climate Change Report adds to those concerns. The report shows that birds in every aquatic and terrestrial habitat type are being affected by climate change. The report is full of fascinating and frightening information about how we are changing our planet. Among the most vulnerable species are our ocean birds--species such as puffins, albatrosses, murres, murrelets and auklets which have low reproductive rates, depend on vulnerable islands for nesting habitat and which are impacted by rapidly changing ocean conditions.
