Cornell releases "2010 State
of the Birds"
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar
today released the 2010 State of the Birds report, the first
assessment of the vulnerability of our nation’s birds to
climate change. The analysis of nearly 800 bird species
shows that climate change is predicted to disrupt birds in
every habitat, with seabirds and Hawaiian birds among the
most vulnerable.
“Birds are excellent indicators of the
health of our environment, and right now they are telling us
an important story about climate change,” said Dr. Kenneth
Rosenberg, director of Conservation Science at the Cornell
Lab of Ornithology. “Many species of conservation concern
will face heightened threats, giving us an increased sense
of urgency to protect and conserve vital bird habitat.”
The report highlights conservation
initiatives and partnerships needed to advance conservation
efforts, and discusses how climate change affects birds in
every habitat, based on an analysis by a team of scientists
from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, Audubon, The Nature Conservancy, American Bird
Conservancy, and others.
