Question

Many North American species of birds are migratory, spending winters in the tropical regions (such as Central or South America) and summers in North America. Habitat destruction due to deforestation is one of the most common threats many of these species face. Suppose you spearheaded a program that returned adequate habitat to the migratory bird in your area.

a) Why might this not be enough to allow the species to recover?

Extinction Risk by Taxonomic Group 307 6,370 845 1,093 1,280 609 50 163 10,064 501 247 100 80 a 60 S 40 S 20 Least concern Data deficient Near threatened Vulnerable Endangered Critically endangered Extinct in the wild

Explanation / Answer

Yes, this might be enough to allow the species to recover.Recovery occurs but it takes too long to recover.If I start a program to return adequate habitat to the migratory bird in my area,I can achieve it successfully.

But in our studies, proves that population increases yearly.As the population increases the needs for housing and construction increases which can cause destruction of forests.So the migratory birds which returns South America in Winters will disappear due to lack of cold temperatures.As the deforestation occurs by firing, the birds habitat will damage.Due to firing the climate changes as the temperature increases.More migratory species go to cold temperate areas to build nests and for breeding purposes.Due to this affect by humans, the species reproduction decreases.The weather and climate will support them to lay eggs and to survive.Hence they cannot return adequate habitat.It takes too long time to return,if necessary steps are taken.
