Approximately 14% of the world’s bird species are considered globally threatened and another 8% are listed as “near-threatened”. This talk will attempt to summarize global patterns of endangerment, discuss international vs national/regional criteria for “red-listing” species, examine various threat types and which birds are most vulnerable to them, and try to engage you in a conversation about conservation on a continental, hemispheric and global scale.
