Britain finds decline in woodland birds. According to a first-ever published report of British woodland birds surveyed from 1967 to 1999, populations declined significantly over the 30-year period, with 12 species diminished by 70% or more and nightingales dropping by over 95%. Many of these avian species whose numbers have precipitously declined are thought to have lost their winter habitats in tropical west Africa.
The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) has begun a new research to track the current populations and migration of these woodland birds. BTO’s Chris Hewson said, “This research will hopefully enable us to identify what the changes happening in Africa are that are causing these declines and ultimately, we hope, to enable us to come up with suggestions for solutions that would benefit not just the birds but also the people
who live there.”
What a saddening loss! Mr. Hewson and British Trust for Ornithology, we appreciate your dedicated efforts to understand and preserve our precious feathered co-inhabitants. May the beautiful nightingale and other avian friends soon flourish, with the grace of the Divine.
During a climate change conference of April 2009 with dignitaries in South Korea, Supreme Master Ching Hai responded to a question on how being vegan and going green offers the best protection to the fragile populations of wild birds.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: In regard to the message, “I am a vegan and green, save the Earth,” this is surely connected to all the animals and the birds also. Once we understand one species of animals, we could understand other species as well. Being vegan simply means we don’t eat the animals, we don’t harm any animal.
This will save the planet and preserve the treasured wilds, such as the birds. We should all remember that we share this planetary abode, the water, the air, the resources, the food, all of nature, we share only.
We should not be possessive of nature.
So, the best thing we can do for the birds and all the animals is to stop causing suffering to them, stop killing them, stop eating them, stop damaging all our habitats. Stop damaging our environment. Be veg, go green and save their planet too, the planet of the animals.

Organized by the British Council, this first Middle East gathering of Climate Champions brought together international climatology experts and 25 youth from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates and Libya. Held in Kuwait, the meeting provided an opportunity for the young advocates to create awareness-raising campaigns and programs to implement in addressing climate change.
Their participation also means that these Champions now become part of the British Council’s Global International Climate Champion network, joining more than 1,300 other similarly-minded youth from 60 countries to further ideas and influence change.
A green hats off, British Council, United Kingdom and climate change Champions of the Middle East and worldwide, for your noble initiatives and constructive efforts. May your love and passion for the environment bring manifold changes to benefit our Earth and her inhabitants.
