Climate change threatens Asian birds

HANOI: Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam are among the six countries whose bird species will suffer, in the future, from the effects of climate change, according to a research conducted by two British scientist institutions.

Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, along with Bhutan, Nepal, and India, were taken as samples in a research whose representative results will be used to design a new global alert.

The University of Durham and the international entity Poultry Life, in charge of the research, concluded that many species will need human help to adapt to the phenomenon.


The document, published by Global Biological Change magazine, assesses a future distribution in more protected sites of nearly 370 endangered species in the eastern Himalayas and the regions near Mekong.

The research estimates that at least 45% and, possibly, 88% of the species will decrease as climate change worsens.

Why Yuon worry about Bird Species will suffer if Yuon eat all the birds, pets like dogs, rats and cats? There are no Birds in Srok Yuon. Those birds flew away to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Burma long time ago. Those birds are very intelligent birds, whenever they see Yuon they fly away from them.
