Objective for effect of deforestation on nesting pattern of birds
Answers
The bird is one of many that nest and live in forests.Woodpeckers, hawks, bats and flying squirrels are some of the forest fauna that lose their homes and hunting grounds as a result of deforestation. The diversity of animal species is decreased by the removal of mature trees.
Although species disappearance is an expected consequence of outright habitat loss, much remains to be learned about the extinction process and how forest disturbance contributes to the decline of birds.
A study on the state of birds globally says agricultural expansion and deforestation are one of the major reasons for this Snowy owls and turtle doves, the familiar birds, are nearing extinction and they aren’t the only species who are disappearing. One in every eight bird species in the world are facing extinction.
About 10 per cent of the world's bird species are on the verge of extinction, threatened by trapping and tree-felling.
In India, 120 species of tree-cavity nesting birds have been identified, but very little information is available about their breed- ing habits.

In India, 120 species of tree-cavity nesting birds have been identified, but very little information is available about their breed- ing habits.The worst affected by tree-felling are the hornbills, nine species of which are found in India. Six of these - the brown hornbill, the rufous-necked hornbill, the Narcondam hornbill, the wreathed hornbill, the India pied hornbill the great pied hornbill - face extinction.
