Bird Habitat is an important part of our global ecosystem, not only providing essential habitat for our feathered friends, but also helping filter harmful carbon dioxide from the air, with trees vegetation and moss, effectively capturing and storing it, what an invaluable service, lets not underestimate the role of bird habitat. Birds play an important role in our ecosystems assisting in pollination, seed distribution, insect and rodent control also clearing up carrion, their music fills the air, pleasant to look at and they are one of the primary indicators of a healthy biosphere. Bird habitat is being destroyed for agriculture, urbanization, gas exploration and hydroelectric development.



Bird habitat is important for breeding, migratory stop overs and migratory destination, the Boreal forest and wetlands are crucial for many bird species survival, for many the shrinking of bird habitat could spell endangered or even extinction for some birds, the Canadian Warbler who's home is the Boreal forest, is notably one of the affected. As bird habitat decreases the billions of birds from around the world that nest in the forest every year will face more problems. There is also a lack of consideration for the natural world, in some coffee plantations, ones that grow their coffee in full sun cutting down all other vegetation causing soil erosion and loss of animal and bird habitat, this is done so that it develops and ripens faster, making for a quicker buck, however there is a solution shade grown coffee takes longer to develop and costs more, the workers get fair pay its most likely organic also the animals and birds keep their habitat.

The Boreal forest covers 2.3 million square miles of Eurasia and Canada, deforestation and climate change is affecting bird habitat and bird populations.

Bird habitat is also struggling with the oil sand project in north Alberta, their homes are being destroyed and they can face death if they try to land there.

Some Birds are very adaptable in bird habitat habits, and can learn to live in urban areas, domestic cats and birds of prey can then pose a threat whilst they visit bird feeders and gardens, others are not as able to adjust to different situations, they are not only wiped out due to lack of their bird habitat but some times migrating birds in the hundreds die because they mistakenly fly into the bright shiny skyscrapers in city areas.

The Borrowing Owl has lost a considerable amount of land to agriculture and urban development, as its habits do consist of actually borrowing they make their nests in the flat treeless prairie lands of North America.

Penguins are one of the most affected by climate change, as higher temperatures destroy their once perfect breeding grounds, lack of snow and ice coverage also diminish their natural food source, warmer climate brings higher water levels also other ocean critters, some predators and others competing for space, taking over their bird habitat.
