The National Audubon Society’s new report details the devastating effects the climate crisis will have on North American bird species- 389 American bird species are at risk for extinction if warming reaches 3 degrees C. Florida species such as Roseate Spoonbill, Black Skimmer, Wood Thrush, American Redstart, and Brown Pelican are among species facing extinction due to wildfires, heat waves, and urbanization.
