7.5 Global report: one in nine migratory birds threatened with extinction¶
A global report released September 11, 2026 found one in nine migratory bird species threatened with extinction, with 45% of all migratory species in decline. The slender-billed curlew was declared extinct in 2025, the first mainland Eurasian and African bird extinction in recent centuries.
- One in nine migratory bird species threatened with extinction; 45% of all migratory species in decline
- Slender-billed curlew declared extinct in 2025—first global bird extinction in mainland Eurasia and Africa in recent centuries
- Seven migratory bird species confirmed or suspected extinct over last 150 years
- Threats: agricultural intensification, unsustainable hunting, pollution, invasive species, and global heating
