Description:
<jats:title>Not enough protection for migrating birds</jats:title>
<jats:p>
Animals that migrate pass through a varying number of regions. Each of these regions contributes to a different component of their life cycles. Runge
<jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic>
looked at the degree of protection migratory birds receive, globally, across their breeding and wintering ranges. A remarkably low percentage of migratory birds receive adequate protection across their entire ranges. Given that over half the world's migratory bird populations are declining, these results emphasize the urgency with which we must act to protect birds across their entire migratory cycle.
