Puffin numbers have gone
dangerously low in recent years. mbl.is/Árni Sæberg
A new report called the 2018 State of the World's Birds Report and
published by Birdlife lists 25 Icelandic birds species as endangered.
The report, which provides a
comprehensive look at the health of bird populations globally, has found that
the extinction crisis has spread so far that even some well-known species are
now in danger. This is reported by today's Morgunblaðið.
Of those 25 bird species ,
Iceland's beloved puffin is in particular danger due to shortage of his natural
food in South Iceland. Other endangered birds are the falcon, the sea eagle and
the fulmar, to name a few.
