Through the war in Ukraine, sparrows, swallows, and rare wetland birds are disappearing: an ornithologist's explanation.

According to ornithologist Oleksandr Ponomarenko, there are 454 species of birds living in Ukraine, but many of them are disappearing. International organizations emphasize the importance of ecosystems for the preservation of bird diversity.

The military events have a negative impact on birds, which are forced to seek new nesting places due to the loss of control over territories. Especially rare species will suffer, as their nesting colonies in southern Ukraine are under threat.

Ukrainian cities are losing birds from the Red Book due to declining species populations and disruption of the natural environment. The war in the east of the country also has a negative impact on birds seeking new nesting places due to the loss of control over territories. This could lead to a decrease in bird diversity in Ukraine and threaten the survival of rare species.
