Conservation efforts and challenges facing populations.

Habitat Loss: One of the primary threats to hummingbirds is habitat loss due to deforestation, urbanization, agriculture expansion, and development

Climate Change: Climate change affects hummingbirds by altering flowering patterns, disrupting migration timings, and impacting the availability of nectar and insects. 

Pollution: Pesticides, herbicides, and pollution from human activities can have detrimental effects on hummingbirds and their habitats.

Invasive Species: Invasive species, such as non-native plants and animals, can compete with native plants for resources or prey on hummingbird eggs and nestlings.

Overexploitation: Illegal capture and trade of hummingbirds for pets or traditional medicine can threaten local populations

Collision Risks: Hummingbirds are vulnerable to collisions with human-made structures such as windows, communication towers, and wind turbines.

Education and Awareness: Promoting public awareness about the importance of hummingbirds in ecosystems and implementing education programs can foster support for conservation
