The bird population has shrunk due to losing the meadow, which is considered as a desert and therefore, converted to monoculture Or diverted for various projects.
“” Other valid reasons that cause a decrease in population are intensive use of pesticides, changes in land use, agricultural intensification, and planting patterns.
Other reasons including collection of eggs, free dogs, high transmission power lines, local communities unconsciously, and unethical photography, “Kale added.
