Climate Change 'Prime Suspect' Behind Decline In Native Hawaiian Bird Numbers, Study Says
A study found that native Hawaiian birds like the 'I'iwi are close to extinction due to climate change, mosquitoes and rats.Researchers warned that the Hawaiian honeycreepers, a family of brightly colored songbirds, may face extinction in a decade.The study published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances found that higher temperatures due to climate change had increased the spread of diseases like avian malaria in the birds' habitat, which used to be cool enough to keep such diseases under control."This study showed us two things: one, that the ones we already knew were in trouble were in even worse trouble than we thought — like, much worse trouble," Lisa Crampton, co-author of the study and project leader with the Kaua'i Forest Bird Recovery Project, reportedly said.

A new study predicts climate change will accelerate the rate of extinctions of Hawaiian honeycreepers.Jim Denny via APBy JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER, Associated PressHONOLULU (AP) — Native forest birds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai are rapidly dying off and facing the threat of extinction as climate change heats up their habitat and allows mosquito-borne diseases to thrive, according to a study released Wednesday.Higher temperatures caused by global warming increase the spread of diseases such as avian malaria in wooded areas once cool enough to keep them under control, the research says.The findings are an early warning for forest birds on other islands and other species worldwide that rely on rapidly disappearing habitat, according to the study published in the journal Science Advances.
