Brief Summary:
Hundreds of species of migratory birds which are already endangered, threatened and suffering from population decline are now threatened by the changes in the global climate. Destruction of habitat, hunting, pesticides, invasive species and loss of wetlands are also threatening nearly a third of the nations 800 bird species.

Short Response:
Many species that we are worried about will face heightened threats, giving us an increased sense of urgency to insure that we protect and conserve vital bird habitat. Birds are very good indicators of the health of our environment, so this growing incident shows a lot about the environment.
