Why Nightingales Are Going Quiet

Ever noticed the English nightingale’s song isn’t as loud as it used to be? Turns out, their numbers have dropped by 42% since the '90s! Researchers tracked them and found they all cram into a tiny spot in The Gambia for winter—bad news since droughts and overgrazing are wrecking their habitat. If things don’t change, these iconic birds might vanish for good. Saving their winter home (and switching to cleaner energy) could make all the difference! #Nightingale #WildlifeCrisis #ClimateChange #Science
