In the most untouched, pristine parts of the Amazon, birds are dying. Scientists have theories.

    TL;DR: Climate change

    No surprises there, unfortunately. Very interesting article, OP, but pretty sad to read. Seems like a lot of research still needs to be done to figure out exactly how these birds are being impacted by climate change and how we can curtail that, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that's going to happen overnight, and a lot more species will decline in the meantime. A bit depressing to think about how even in the most pristine areas of the globe, miles and kilometers away from even the nearest road, in forests that have existed for literally millions of years, and yet still they feel the effects of our pollution.
