In this 2010 State of the Birds report, we consider one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, climate change. How will the impacts of climate change influence our bird populations and their habitats? Accelerated climate change as a result of human activities is altering the natural world as we know it, diminishing the quality of our environment. This report calls attention to the collective efforts needed to protect nature’s resources for the benefit of people and wildlife.

Three workshops were held over two years for the three sub-regions in the Pacific: Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. Each workshop considered a summary of threatened species in their sub-region and generic problems, and then decided on a priority list of project briefs for bird conservation projects. The workshops also revised the draft regional strategy.
