Birds play an important role to help maintain the delicate balance in our ecosystem.Also birds have been a great source of influence for Wright Brothers for their invention as well as for many authors in producing their finest works.Today many species of birds are in danger of extinction which will lead to imbalance in our ecosystem.
5th Jan is celebrated as bird day to recognise the role of species and raise awareness on endangered bird species to promote conservation.
Some Endangered Bird Species in the world
1.Philippine eagle
2.Kakapo
3.Bengal florican
4.Giant Ibis
5.Sumatran ground-cuckoo
Crucial Role of Bird in maintaining balance in our Ecosystem
1.Role in different trophic level:Birds occupy different trophic level and hence helps in maintaining species in different trophic level organisms.
2.Role in Plant Reproduction:Birds help in transfer of pollen grains between plants promoting reproduction and growth in number of plant species.
3.Role in supporting other species:It is found that extinction of one species directly leads to extinction of another species of flora or fauna.
4.Role as human pets: Many birds are kept as pets hence providing companionship to humans.
5.Role as a influencer:Birds have been a major source of influence for many inventors,authors and artists resulting in some of their finest works.
What we and you can acheive together?
1.Raising awareness
We can raise awareness in various social media platforms on crucial role of birds in our ecosystem.
2.Planting more trees
We can plant trees in our locality as trees are the habitat of many birds.
3.Controlling Pollution
We can control pollution as pollution adversely affects the health of birds and our health to.
4.Ban on Hunting and Poaching
We can demand a more strict rules on government part to stop hunting and poaching of birds.
5.Creation of Sanctuaries
We can find important biodiversity sites,raise awareness and collaborate with government to create sanctuaries to promote conservation of species.
Conclusion
Today due to climate change,construction of human settlements and other human activities many species of flora and fauna are in danger of extinctions.At the current pace of human activities it's important not only for environmentalists and governments but also the general public to be aware of the threats to our environment.We should actively engage in various conservation practices like afforestation and sustainable development.
As we human beings are intelligent species and we are aware that we belong to the top of trophic level we must actively associate in maintaining the delicate balance to continue the survival of our species.
