It has not been seen in its small home range in central Vietnam since around 2000. World Pheasant Association (WPA) is a UK registered charity (271203) dedicated to promoting biodiversity conservation by ensuring the survival of those species of pheasants and related birds (the Galliformes), that are important to humans globally.

The Spoon-billed Sandpiper, one of the world's most threatened birds, is rapidly heading towards extinction because young birds are being targeted for human consumption. In 2000, around 1,000 breeding pairs were known, but by 2009, the number had plummeted to just 120-220 pairs, a decline of 88%.

It isn’t actually known if Haast’s Eagle ate people, but considering its prey was human sized giant birds it hardly seems unreasonable conjecture to state they probably at least made spirited attempts to do so. New Zealand was once home to Haast’s Eagle , the largest eagle in the world.

I have observed Pied Oystercatchers breeding in an area on Cable Beach since July 2000. The birds have moved the nest site slightly each year depending on human interaction, but it is still confined to one small section of grey rocky outcrops with a great view for sitting for 28 days.

But, in the next year, 2009, only one human was killed by a tiger, leading to a conclusion that all the tigers in the conflict area (practically, the wider reserve buffer zone) have been wiped out. By the year 2000, the number of tigers in the wild went down to 8,500 and by 2012, it plummeted to a mere 3,200 individuals.

I had my first swim with Inshore Bottlenose Dolphins in Northland’s Bay of Islands back in 2000, and it was a tripy experience. There is also something quite otherworldy about hanging around with something that is as smart as a dolphin but isn’t human; I’ve had a similar feeling when spending time around wild chimpanzees.

While the focus of your landscaping design may revolve around creating an attractive atmosphere and making humans comfortable, the family dog deserves consideration as well. Since 2000, Chris Long has been a store associate at a Home Depot in Illinois. Make Your Pet Feel at Home. You might be surprised at how attractive they are.

Loggers might get, let’s say, $400 dollars for stripping out a forest, where a community might make the equivalent of $2000 dollars a year through foraging, gathering and hunting (the particulars vary). One of the classic stories you hear is the one about using a forest. By contrast, not all extractive use is bad.

Not all habitat change is due to humans; there is Chestnut Blight destroying American Chestnuts in the early 1900s, and the more recent Dutch Elm disease. Still, the authors praise more than mourn, emphasizing that the most severe changes occurred before 1955, and that some NYC infrastructure changes have actually helped area bird life.

And since the year 2000, we have an even greater bird, the… Greater Rhea ! This is where the fact that German birders are humans comes into play (and they sure aren’t the only ones ). Then of course, we have amazing birds such as Wallcreeper , Hoopoe , and Black Woodpecker.

On the short list of wins for wildlife during the Bush II era, Short-tailed Albatross were officially listed as Endangered in 2000. But within a couple of decades, it’s effects on both wildlife and humanity became apparent. They were secure in their isolated home here until humanity came to Laysan in the 1890s.

Dale Forbes Mar 16th, 2011 at 8:37 am Hi Laurent, that is a fascinating example of humans responding to difficult environmental challenges. I cannot seem to find any evidence that any of the other accentors are polygynandrous; at least some of them seem not to be. In this case, they would be exhibiting polyandry.

The Grey-backed Shrike apparently prefers locations close to human settlements – not because humans are particularly nice (we are not), but “because these habitats offer a better foraging substrate and places safe from large predators” ( source ). Bad manners, I think. Difficult – no, hopeless.

Natural History is another favorite section, descriptions of behavior–how it forages for food, whether it tends to be solitary or part of a group, if the species can be trained to receive food from humans, method of movement (hopping or running), what time of day the male bird tends to sing, and more.
