2011-10-28 Bird extinction – “Should we care?”
More than 130 species of birds have become extinct since AD
1500, mostly because of human actions. Today’s Red List update includes 189
species which are listed as Critically Endangered. On the very edge of
extinction and without immediate action, many will not be here in ten years
time.
