Mesoamerican Forests Key for North American Birds Extinction Risk

Cornell University in Ithaca reports that one in four bird species in North America face extinction. Scientists have discovered that the Five Great Forests of Mesoamerica serve as critical lifelines for migratory birds. These forests provide essential habitat for birds during the North American winter, according to findings by a team of experts. Viviana Ruiz Gutierrez, director of conservation science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, stated that the forests "light up like a beacon." Further details on the team’s findings can be found on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s website.
