Bird Populations Plummet: Farming & Climate Change to Blame

Bird populations across North America are plummeting at an unprecedented rate, with nearly half of 261 species showing major losses since 1987. Intensive farming and climate change are the main culprits, with agriculture-related factors accelerating bird declines in regions like the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and California.

The study emphasizes the need to rethink crop practices, reduce chemicals, and address warming to reverse this trend.
