Even duck populations, which have been considered a conservation success story, have trended downward in recent years, though they are still higher than 1970 levels, according to the report, released on Thursday by a group of science and conservation organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The report looked at 718 species using population data such as the Cornell Lab of Ornithology&#8217;s eBird Status and Trends project, the U.S. Geological Survey&#8217;s Breeding Bird Survey and National Audubon Society avian counts. The report identified species that have reached a &#8221;tipping point,&#8221; having lost more than 50% of their numbers within the past half-century. Among those, it listed 33 &#8221;yellow alert&#8221; species with long-term population losses but relatively stable recent trends, 37 &#8221;orange alert&#8221; species with long-term losses that accelerated within the past decade and 42 &#8221;red alert&#8221; species with dangerously low numbers and precipitous declines.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these red alert species included the mottled duck, Allen&#8217;s hummingbird, yellow-billed loon, red-faced cormorant, greater sage-grouse, Florida scrub jay, Baird&#8217;s sparrow, saltmarsh sparrow, mountain plover, Hawaiian petrel, Bicknell&#8217;s thrush, Cassia crossbill, pink-footed shearwater, tricolored blackbird and golden-cheeked warbler. The report found that avian populations are decreasing in almost every habitat, including grasslands and arid regions. Shorebirds are the group with the most &#8221;tipping point&#8221; species, at 19.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/many-us-bird-species-seen-reaching-population-tipping-point-2025-03-13\/\">Reuter&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-682\/\">Many US bird species seen as reaching population &#8217;tipping point&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6897,4334,575,574],"class_list":["post-138248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-birds","tag-decline","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138248\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
