Climate Change is Driving One in Six Australian Birds to Imminent Extinction

According to a once-in-a-decade research, one in every six Australian birds is now vulnerable, indicating that the climate emergency is driving species closer to extinction.

The plan outlines activities that conservationists may implement to enhance the trajectory of many species, such as better fire control and predator elimination.

Garnett said numerous species on King Island, off the coast of Tasmania, such as the King Island brown thornbill and the King Island scrubtit, would benefit if land destruction on the island was stopped.

The study highlights species where targeted conservation efforts have resulted in increased population numbers, such as the Norfolk Island green parrot, which has moved from severely endangered to vulnerable status due to nest protection efforts.

"The findings clearly show that unless we make changes, many species will continue to decrease or go extinct," he stated.

"However, we have some clear guidance in our study on how to prevent these results." The 2020 study also shows how well-resourced and conducted conservation efforts may turn things around."
