'Our thoughts are with the people and biodiversity in this tragedy,' Diana Bell—a professor of Conservation a Biology—said
Hurricane Dorian has caused catastrophic destruction in the Bahamas and killed at least seven people there. But aside from its impact on humans, the powerful storm likely severely affected wildlife on the islands and may have even caused a rare species of bird to go extinct, according to an expert.
"Surveys in 2018 indicated that the number of Bahama nuthatches—which hadn't been recorded since Hurricane Matthew in 2016—may be down to 1-2 individuals," Bell said."How do small birds survive these conditions in already highly fragmented habitat." Other threatened endemic birds in the Bahamas include the Bahama Swallow, Bahama Warbler and Bahama Yellowthroat.
"It's total devastation. It's decimated. Apocalyptic," Lia Head-Rigby, who runs a local hurricane relief organization, told the, referring to the situation in the Abaco Islands."It's not rebuilding something that was there; we have to start again."
