- A global assessment found that more than half of the world’s 3,380 migratory bird species are declining due to multiple environmental threats.
- Major threats include habitat loss, invasive species, hunting, pesticide use, building collisions, and accidental capture in fishing nets.
- Migratory birds depend on connected habitats across different countries for breeding, migration, and survival.
- Scientists recommend a full annual-cycle conservation approach to protect birds across their breeding grounds, migration routes, and non-breeding habitats.
- Advanced tools like tracking devices, genetic studies, automated monitoring, and citizen science programmes help in bird conservation efforts.
