Hi folks
as a new year is about to start I thought it might be relevant to focus on conservation a little more directly than is often done on these forums.
nearly 1,200 species of bird are threatend with global extinction. Almost 200 of these are critically endangered and are therefore immediately threatened with extinction. As we go through 2003 adding new birds to our own lists it would be nice to think we could all do something however little towards reducing the number of species on the threatened list - the only bird list where a low number is what we want to see........
thnks are due to Steve for posting a threatened bird per day thread and reminding us what it's all about in the end!
for more info see http://www.birdlife.net/action/science/species/index.html and http://www.birdlife.net/action/science/index.html
for the complete list of threatened species see http://www.birdlife.net/datazone/downloads/register.html for a full list (you have to register your name but this takes only a second)
atb for your birding in 2004 however u do it
