Effects of Climate Instability on Bird Habitats
Are you a bird lover and care about bird conservation in the world? Let's save them from the dangers of climate instability!
As one of the animals that often migrates, birds are "newspapers" for climate change. Animal instincts often bring birds to find more comfortable nesting places. Usually, a negative climate will bring various bird species flying away.
In Europe, the population of birds that adapt to cold climates is decreasing. Meanwhile, in Borneo, mountain birds live by increasingly shifting to higher ground. Another thing that happened in Mexico, various regions actually lost species of endemic birds due to changes in temperature and climate.
Given the bird race is one of the survivors in the dynamics of life since hundreds of millions of years ago, of course environmental change is not something new. However, for now the ones that affect environmental change are not just natural factors. Humans, as a major factor, have made climate movements more rapid and unpredictable.
Various changing bird behaviors explain their movements to adapt. For one thing, certain bird species maneuver more quickly in building their nests. This is compared to decades ago, when summer arrivals or climate change can still be predicted.
Although switching can solve the problem of bird compatibility with temperature, but not necessarily for other problems. Previously abandoned habitats usually provide food sources for the bird species themselves. A bird that can meet the need for food in trees that grow in the lowlands will have difficulty if the bird has to move to a higher place.
Not to mention the problem of predators. Species that live in lower places are generally birds that eat plants, seeds, or insects. While species that live in higher places tend to be the top of the food chain. If a species from a low place moves to a high place, you can imagine that the species only provides itself as a food for predators.
To deal with this, what needs to be done is greening and reducing the use of gas emissions that are not environmentally friendly. Greening the forest besides stabilizing the earth's temperature will also help bird species find their lost habitat. Green and healthy forests will improve the chaotic scheme caused by climate change.

Another alternative is to build an artificial ecosystem. Some developed countries have saved endangered species by building nature reserves. However, it cannot be limited only in its construction, the management of the nature reserve itself must be correct. Applicable laws must be explicitly enforced and enforced.
Another important point, besides stabilizing the climate and maintaining bird habitat, is that illegal hunting factors must also be considered. Because, after all, we don't want to solve the problem but in the end only adds new problems, right?

Unbalanced Standard Habitat
Unstable climate change also affects habitat standards. Birds have their own standards for temperatures that can make it survive. If this is disturbed, the bird will move to a more suitable place. Some species will look for a higher place, and some will go to a lower place.Although switching can solve the problem of bird compatibility with temperature, but not necessarily for other problems. Previously abandoned habitats usually provide food sources for the bird species themselves. A bird that can meet the need for food in trees that grow in the lowlands will have difficulty if the bird has to move to a higher place.

While species that live in higher places tend to be the top of the food chain. If a species from a low place moves to a high place, you can imagine that the species only provides itself as a food for predators.
The food chain is messed up
Another impact of this is the increasingly chaotic food chain. Upscale predators will hunt in habitats inhabited by new species, leaving the previous hunting grounds. Not only causes prey in the previous habitat to develop uncontrollably, but species in the new habitat are also threatened with extinction.To deal with this, what needs to be done is greening and reducing the use of gas emissions that are not environmentally friendly.
