ISLAND’S BIRDS

ENDEMIC SPECIES

This long study focuses as well on the largest islands as the smallest islets, as long as they have an ornithological interest, even with only one endemic bird species.

An endemic species, plant or animal, lives only in a specific location such as island, habitat type or other defined area. Endemic species are more developed on islands because they are isolated. By living in restricted areas, the endemics often become threatened, endangered or extinct, due to human developments involving disturbances, degradation and destruction of the habitat, but also to introduced species, plants and animals, which become invasive and threaten the native ones.   

This page is work in progress for long time.  
The cards will be created step by step, according to picture’s availability.
On the other hand, the list of the islands will get longer too.
