Global report: 1 in 9 migratory birds threatened, 45% in decline

BirdLife International's global report, presented at the Global Flyways Summit in Nairobi, finds 1 in 9 migratory bird species threatened with extinction and 45% in decline, driven by habitat loss, intensive agriculture, hunting, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. The summit announced new measures and billions in funding for protecting migration routes, but the report underscores accelerating biodiversity loss with direct implications for ecosystem stability and climate resilience.
