Article Synopsis
- Bird populations are experiencing significant declines, especially in agricultural areas where neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly used.
- Research, involving a meta-analysis of 49 studies, indicates that neonicotinoids adversely affect bird health, behavior, reproduction, and survival.
- The persistent presence of neonicotinoids in the environment, even after local bans, poses ongoing threats to both individual birds and overall population stability, highlighting the need for reevaluation of pesticide policies.
