Many species are at risk in what are often considered to be the vast and untouched wildernessess of Canada. You will find an earlier post about wolves in this blog, but here is a new petition. This time about the songbirds of Canada's Boreal Forest. Gas, mining, logging and hydro development claim ever more of the forest, leaving ever less habitat for the species that call it home. Many songbirds migrate, so spend only part of the year in this area, but they do depend upon it for their breeding success.
The group 'Save our Boreal Birds' states:
"In recent years, we have seen long-term declines in many Boreal bird species. Rusty Blackbirds have declined by 95%, Olive-sided Flycatchers, Boreal Chickadees, Bay-breasted and Canada Warblers, and Evening Grosbeaks by more than 70%, and scaup and scoters by over 50%. "
