POLLUTION & ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION
Agricultural chemicals
Pesticides and herbicides
contaminate nectar, which is bird’s main food
Air pollution
Dust, smoke, and industrial emissions
Land degradation
Overgrazing
Soil degradation
light, noise pollution
noisy miners
Artificial light and constant urban noise
Australian bushfires
destroyed about 40% of its contemporary breeding locations
especially on 2019-2020
Habitat Loss and fragmentation
Threats
Urban expansion
Transport networks
highway
metro lines
Roads
Population growth
more people need housing, transport, services
noise pollution
Agriculture
Clearing land for farms
Fences block animal movement
Pine or eucalyptus replace native trees
chemicals overuse
Mining
disturbs animals during feeding/breeding
Deforestation
forests cleared for roads, houses
forests broken into small patches, harder for animals to move
Solution
Use sustainable framing
use less chemicals
plant native flowering trees
create more national parks, reserves
stop clearing land in sensitive areas
provide breeding sites where old trees are gone
Invasive species and competition
Larger, more aggressive nectivores
Noisy Friarbirds
Red Wattlebirds
Noisy Miners
Unable to compete
Food Competition
Feral honeybees
Food competition
Lack of food
DIE
Rabbits
Damage plants
Territory Competition
