On the other hand, on the occasion of the celebration, SEO/BirdLife urges society to become aware of the alarming current loss of biodiversity.
This is because according to the ‘Red Book of Birds’, 56 percent of the birds evaluated have conservation problemswhile 25 percent, which represents 90 species of Spanish birdlife, are threatened and included in risk of extinction categories of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
