Adam Smith said: "The species like pigeons and house sparrows and starlings, species we think of as thriving in urban environments, even those species are in steep decline,"

Adam Smith said: "The loss of abundance overall is something that has a cost to our healthy ecosystems," "There are billions fewer beaks out there to eat insects. There are fewer birds to eat and disperse plant seeds. And there are fewer birds for us to experience"

Peter Marra ricorda: «La guarigione dei rapaci ha avuto successo perché i ricercatori sapevano esattamente quali specie stavano morendo e perché. Il nuovo studio, tuttavia, identifica le perdite senza conoscerne tutte le cause. Gli scienziati sanno a cosa vanno incontro gli uccelli, tuttavia, con la perdita dell’habitat identificata come il più grande danno. Anche i cambiamenti climatici, i cambiamenti dei modelli migratori e l’uso di pesticidi sono fattori importanti. Tutto sommato, gli uccelli sono probabilmente colpiti da diverse minacce contemporaneamente. Ora stanno accadendo cose enormi che stanno convergendo»
