A recent study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals that extreme heat driven by climate change has led to a decline of tropical bird populations by 25 to 38 percent since the 1950s. The research highlights that nearly all regions experienced a decline, with the tropics suffering the most. Birds are increasingly exposed to extreme heat, which affects their survival and reproduction. The study emphasizes the need for conservation strategies to help vulnerable species adapt to rising temperatures. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
