Hasil temuan sejumlah aktivis di Amazon mengungkapkan, sejumlah spesies burung di wilayah tersebut kini mengalami ancaman sangat signifikan akibat deforestasi yang terjadi untuk perluasan wilayah pertanian dan peternakan. Organisasi Birdlife Internasional mengungkapkan, secara global 1331 spesies burung, atau 13 persen dari 10.064 spesies burung dunia masuk dalam daftar merah sebagai spesies terancam oleh IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Jumlah ini meningkat dari 1253 spesies yang terancam tahun sebelumnya.
Jumlah terbesar burung yang terancam ada di wilayah Amazon, dimana sekitar 100 spesies kini ada di dalam daftar merah kepunahan, tiga diantaranya bahkan sudah masuk kategori beresiko tinggi punah. Tahun lalu, hanya 10 spesies ada di daftar merah ini. Peningkatan yang mengkhawatirkan ini terkait dengan adanya deforestasi yang terus berjalan, yang diprediksi masih akan terus meningkat hingga satu dekade mandatang.
