The factors that influence the number of migratory birds to decrease are:
The decline in natural water sources
- Water is the most important factor that attracts migratory birds.
- It is essential for migratory birds to breed and raise their young ones.
- Since the number of natural water bodies is decreasing at an alarming rate, the number of migratory birds is also declining rapidly.
Urbanization
- Urbanization is taking place at the cost of environmental destruction.
- Large areas of forests are being cleared up, many species of trees and plants are disappearing, natural water bodies are being covered up, etc.
- All of these are the main habitats of migratory birds.
- Since their habitat is vanishing, migration is also declining.
The drastic changes in climate
- Migratory birds migrate to regions that provide them with the factors favorable to them.
- Global warming, deforestation, ozone depletion, etc. is causing an extreme increase in temperature.
- Such temperatures are unsuitable for migration.
