A 150-Year Extinction Debt: How Industrial-Era Impacts Still Threaten Birdlife Today

Despite centuries of widespread land transformation, the number of officially recorded bird extinctions remains relatively low [2]. A recent study published in Conservation Letters provides a compelling explanation: a vast “extinction debt” has been accumulating since the Second Industrial Revolution, placing many bird species on a delayed path to extinction [3]

Abstract

Despite centuries of widespread land transformation, the number of officially recorded bird extinctions remains relatively low [2]. A recent study published in Conservation Letters provides a compelling explanation: a vast “extinction debt” has been accumulating since the Second Industrial Revolution, placing many bird species on a delayed path to extinction [3]
