Not every farmer is pleased to host birds. Some concern about the spread Bird fluOthers are concerned that birds will eat many of their valuable crops. But since an unstable climate provides a little water, and chaos and chaotic storms, the fate of human food production and birds is more connected – with the same abnormal cases that harm birds that harm agriculture as well.
In some places, farmers cooperation is very important to the continued presence of diki cranes and types of water birds based on wetlands, close to One -third of it It suffers from declines. Numbers of water birds (think about ducks and geese) Shattered by 20 percent since 2014And the coastal birds with long legs such as Sandpipers suffered Severe population losses. Biologists are making thinking, non -profit organizations, government agencies, and farmers themselves are efforts to ensure each type remains and thrives. With federal support at the Trump administration intersection, their work is more important (and threatening) than ever.
Their cooperation, whether local or international, is very specific, because different regions support different types of agriculture – agricultural lands, or deep wet or shallow lands, for example, preferred by different types of birds. The key to the efforts made is to make it useful for farmers to keep – or amendment – to meet the needs of fodder and habitats.
Larad farms and traditional bride In LouisianaAs well as in the Gents corner of Texas, a natural tradition Fresh water Wet lands That is lost to sneak salty water From sea level rise. Rice grows in the fields flooded by water to preserve weeds; The fields of harvest are drained by autumn. Then it is reformulated to cover the hoof of burrows in the mud. It is harvested in early spring – the cycle begins again.
That second flood coincides with the fall of the fall –Hereditary and educated behavior This determines where the birds fly and when – and nourishing huge numbers of bolson, sad, bitotrez, and chain that eat on crustaceans as well as on Al -SharghoufFish and insects are in water.
On the lobster farm, “you can see 30, 40, 50 species of birds, amphibians, reptiles, everything,” in contrast, if farmers turn into corn production and soybeans are less dense in the water in response to climate pressure, “you will see the raccoon, deer, crows, this.” Wojohn often depends on the word oral to connect farmers to save; Someone learned to discover Whimbre, with their large curved bills, “released” about them and told all his friends about farmers. Wojohn says such a dialogue from farmers to the farm is how to change things between this group that sometimes changes, says Wojohn.
In the Mississippi Delta, and in California, where rice is generally grown without crustaceans, memorization organizations such as Ducks Unlimited have entered farmers who have long entered the farmers and remained power by helping them get flooding fields in the winter season for fishermen. This attracts excessive ducks in the winter and geese – an additional “crop” – from the remaining rice and blessing plants; Birds too Helps decompose rice stems So farmers should not be removed. “The goal of Ducks Unlimited is simple. This is especially important because the variable climate makes this more difficult. 2024 has witnessed a huge payment, as the organization maintains one million acres of water birds.
Some strategies can be counterproductive. In the center of New York, where ICE, a wild micro -waters, witnessed the usual immigration times, wildlife managers and land boxes purchase the least -productive agricultural lands for agriculture with original herbs; This gives immigrant fuel to duck when much does not grow. Andrew Dickson, Director of Science and Conservation at the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, Director of Science and Preservation at the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, and Director of Science and Conservation at the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, Director of Science and Conservation in the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, Director of Science and Conservation in the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, Director of Science and Conservation in the Mohammed bin Zayed Fund And the director of science and memorization at the Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor Fund in Abu Dhabi, and participated in the funds of the Governor of Mohammed bin Zayed Raptor in Abu Dhabi. An article on the science of genetics for bird migration In the annual review of the year 2024 of biotechnology. This can harm the ecosystems aimed at serving them.
Recently, the memorization efforts that extend to the continents and thousands of miles have arisen. One seeks to protect orange. They migrate 18,000 miles to and from the High Arctic, where they are nestBirds suffer from severe hunger – which forces them to devour insects in short herbs where insects multiply. But a lot of stopping along the round trip of the birds is threatened. There is a shortage of water that affects agriculture in Texas, where feed in grass farms; Loss of herbal lands and their deterioration in Paraguay; In Colombia, converting feed lands into foreign herbs and rice field cannot be used by these birds.
The conservation specialists say that it is important to protect habitats for “buffets” along their way, and to ensure that the winter is these small coastal birds eliminating the coastal lakes in Uruguay is the food festival. To this end, the Manumit Maintenance Specialist, Joakin Dabai, in partnership with the Uruguay Ministry of Agriculture, teach 40 local livestock breeders how to improve livestock grazing practices. The transfer of animals from pastures to pastures means that herbs remain the right length of insects to flourish.
There are no easy reforms in northwestern North America, where Maintaining birds in a crisis. Severe dehydration causes reproductive lands, counterfeit spots, and migration stops for fading. It is also Exposing ways to live farmersThose who are paid to sell the land to developers. From the south of Oregon to the center of California, the preservation allies provided cash incentives for the grain farmers who suffer from this Leave behind the wreckage of the harvest To improve the survival of alive 1 billion birds That passes every year, and Livestock breeders for unused pastures.
One of the treacherous legs from the northwestern migration road is the sprayed basin that was dried in the state of Oregon and California. “For the last three years,” says John Faradinburg, a supervisory biologist at the National Wildlife Wildlife Revival Complex. I mean, counting the peak was zero. Countless partners from private partners They work to evoke more water for human residents and pilots in the pelvis, where permanent wetlands become monsoon land, moving to seasonal moist lands to temporary wetlands, and the temporary wetlands turn into barren lands.
Four electrical dams and one landing dam The waters of the Klamath River extended through the landscape, and created New currents And link the farm fields Wet lands that have been separated for a long time. But achieving the maximum benefit from this requires wide thinking. The restoration of wetlands-which was at risk after the loss of financing from the current administration-will help farmers with drought by maintaining high water tables. But what if farmers can also obtain additional money for their work via environmental credit, such as carbon credits, to make these wet lands to liquidate the surface flow of the farm? And what if wetlands can work as a lot of water education for events, before storing rivers? Klamath tribes are invested in restoring C’WaAM and KOPTU, endangered lollipops, and this can help them achieve this goal.
When the traditional comfort sites and nesting of birds become unconscious, the most realistic question is whether improvements can occur quickly enough. Climate change does not allow a little chance of species to genetically adapting, although some change their behaviors. This means that the work of conservation specialists to find and secure agricultural lands, adequate moderation and rump, as birds are looking for new roads have become a race against time.
