In today's world, migratory birds, as symbols of freedom and nature, are facing a serious crisis. According to a recent global report, one migratory bird out of every nine is at risk of extinction. This alarming statistic indicates the decline of many well-known species such as canaries, puffins, and arctic terns.
Serious Impacts on Ecosystem
Based on this report, 45% of migratory species are currently on the path to extinction. This statistic is particularly concerning for birds like canaries and puffins, which play a key role in the ecosystem. Additionally, the species “Slender-billed Curlew” was officially declared last year as the first migratory bird to have gone extinct in the continents of Eurasia and Africa in recent centuries.
In the past 150 years, seven species of migratory birds have either been officially declared extinct or are suspected to be extinct globally. This indicates an environmental crisis that requires urgent attention and action.
Flight Agreements in Kenya
In this context, at a recent meeting in Kenya, agreements were signed to preserve the flight paths of migratory birds to prevent further extinction of these species. But will these agreements be sufficient? Or should we expect more crises in the future?
Given the current situation, it seems that only through serious and global actions can we prevent this disaster. Can humanity save these birds and the endangered ecosystems? Time will determine the answer to this question.
