Climate change disrupts bird migration, threatening survival

Climate change is significantly altering bird migration patterns, impacting their survival and ecological roles. Rising sea levels and extreme weather events are disrupting habitats and food sources. Changes in temperature and food availability are forcing birds to alter migration routes, leading to potential conflicts and decreased reproductive success. Some species, like the Hudsonian godwit, are struggling to adapt. The World Migratory Bird Day, observed today, highlights the need for habitat protection and pollution reduction to support bird populations. The loss of migratory birds could have cascading effects on ecosystems.
