Bird extinction rates far worse than realised
Continue to the storyEvery year another species of bird vanishes forever, new research suggests, an extinction rate four times higher than traditional estimates. Furthermore, the analysis predicts that by the end of the century the rate will accelerate to 10 extinctions per year. The work was carried out by Peter Raven, at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St Louis, US, and colleagues. By the year 2100, Raven adds, “we will see total homogenisation – an end to regional diversity. The same few bird species will be seen everywhere, whether they are native or not".
