Ancient Forests and Bird habitat our Earths Lungs

By: Joan Barton

Bird habitat is being destroyed for agriculture, urbanization, gas exploration and hydroelectric development, decreasing their numbers over the years, we are faced with shrinking bird habitat.
Bird habitat plays an important part for our ecosystems providing habitat for our feathered friends but also improving our air quality with the plants filtration process.

Bird habitat is shrinking causing endangerment and even extinction for some species like the Canadian Warbler, who lives in the Boreal forest. Bird habitat is essential for breeding, migratory stops and destinations. As bird habitat decreases the billions of birds from around the world that nest in the forest every year will face more problems. There is also a lack of consideration for the natural world, in some coffee plantations, ones that grow their coffee in full sun cutting down all other vegetation causing soil erosion and loss of animal and bird habitat, this is done so that it develops and ripens faster, making for a quicker buck, however there is a solution shade grown coffee takes longer to develop and costs more, the workers get fair pay its most likely organic also the animals and birds keep their habitat.

The Boreal forest covers 2.3 million square miles including Canada and Eurasia, not only deforestation but also climate change is having an effect on bird habitat and their populations.

Bird habitat is also struggling with the oil sand project in north Alberta, their homes are being destroyed and they can face death if they try to land there.

Some Birds are very adaptable in bird habitat habits, and can learn to live in urban areas, domestic cats and birds of prey can then pose a threat whilst they visit bird feeders and gardens, others are not as able to adjust to different situations, they are not only wiped out due to lack of their bird habitat but some times migrating birds in the hundreds die because they mistakenly fly into the bright shiny skyscrapers in city areas.

The Borrowing Owl has lost a considerable amount of land to agriculture and urban development, as its habits do consist of actually borrowing they make their nests in the flat treeless prairie lands of North America.

Penguins are one of the most affected by climate change, as higher temperatures destroy their once perfect breeding grounds, lack of snow and ice coverage also diminish their natural food source, warmer climate brings higher water levels also other ocean critters, some predators and others competing for space, taking over their bird habitat.
