Chocolate-backed kingfisher (Halcyon badia), a bird confined to the interior of African rainforests, is still a reasonably common species but is under severe potential threat from future land-use changes in the region. Under two out of four socioeconomic scenarios, a >50% potential loss of geographic range is projected for this species by the year 2100 (see Jetz et al.). More
Chocolate-backed kingfisher, confined to African rainforests, may see more than half of its geographic range lost by 2100. Credit: Walter Jetz, UC San Diego. Global warming and the destruction of natural habitats will lead to significant declines and extinctions in the world’s 8,750 terrestrial bird species over the next century, according to a study conducted by biologists at the University of California, San Diego and Princeton University.
