- State of the Birds 2022 - U. S. National Park Service
Of the declining species, the fastest declining birds are grassland birds with a 34% loss since 1970 The report also identifies 70 “Tipping Point” species that have lost 50% of their population in the last 50 years and are on track to lose another half or more in the next 50 years— making them highly vulnerable to extinction
- Urbanisation and nest building in birds: a review of threats . . .
