The expansion of human populations into natural areas, indiscriminate hunting, the introduction of exotic species and the effect of climate change are factors that represent real threats to biodiversity throughout the Caribbean.
We can still see a variety of wild birds in urban areas. These species (sparrow, pigeon) have managed to survive in unfavorable environments. They nest in elevated areas of buildings, air conditioning shafts and leafy trees.
Cats are control agents for small mammals such as mice. Without them, the proliferation of deadly diseases such as rabies, bubonic plague and toxoplasmosis would represent a very serious problem for the human species.
The infinite beauty of the living beings that surround us is reason enough to pause when we walk down the street just to appreciate them. Knowing their role in the ecosystem helps us to create awareness about our actions towards them.
