Experts hope a database of lost birds will trigger public sightings.
Across the world, migrating animal populations are dwindling. Here's why
Nearly half of the world's threatened migratory species have declining populations, and over 20% are threatened with extinction.
Conservation efforts such as wildlife crossings, regulations, and habitat protections are helping some migratory species, but more needs to be done to reverse population declines.

Artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially surpass humans and pose an existential threat to humanity.
AI researchers like Richard Sutton and Yoshua Bengio have expressed concerns that AI systems could go rogue and have their own self-interest, potentially leading to extinction.
Yoshua Bengio believes that efforts to build AI systems that overpower humans and have their own self-interest should be criminalized.
Why Animals Living on Islands Are at Greater Risk of Extinction
Warm-blooded island species evolve slower metabolic rate for survival edge but face extinction risk when stressed.
Many island species have slower metabolic rates, making them vulnerable to extinction when faced with habitat changes or invasive species.
The concept of island syndrome involves physiological, ecological, and behavioral differences in island species compared to mainland counterparts.
