The article presents a study concerning the population trends of the forest birds in Rota, Mariana Islands. It notes that Micronesia is considered as a biodiversity spot due to numerous endemic species birds that can be found in the area. The Mariana Crow and the Rota Bridled white-eye are the two endemic birds that have declined in the past 20 years. Between 1982 and 2004, trends in abundance of eight terrestrial bird species are being examined. The study found out that seven of the bird species have declined while only the Micronesian Stralings have showed an increase in abundance. The decline is said to be the result of deforestation. |
