2010年美国鸟类状况美国最近发表的报告，说明气候变化对候鸟的威胁

15-03-2010

Hawaiian birds such as endangered species Puaiohi Myadestes palmeri and ’Akiapōlā’au Hemignathus munroi already face multiple threats and are increasingly challenged by mosquito-borne diseases and invasive species as climate change alters their native habitats.

For bird species that are already of conservation concern such as the Golden-cheeked Warbler Dendroica chrysoparia, Whooping Crane Grus americana, and Spectacled Eider Somateria fischeri, the added vulnerability to climate change may hasten declines or prevent recovery.

"The dangers to these birds reflect risks to everything we value: our health, our finances, our quality of life and the stability of our natural world", said Audubon's Glenn Olson. "But if we can help the birds weather a changing climate, we can help ourselves."
