塑料带和很多的塑料制品给我们的生活带来了极大的便利。 但是塑料造成的污染也不容忽视。这些污染对于鸟类的影响有哪些呢?

北美黑顶山雀用彩色塑料袋装点巢穴提升魅力值,非洲白鹳借渔网弹性打造抗震摇篮。听起来很美,但是揭开这些看着浪漫或者实用的面纱,也有让人心惊的负面影响。——全球80亿人口背负着相当于1.5吨/人的塑料遗产,这些难以降解的人造物也在重塑着鸟类的世界。

骨顶鸡巢穴里的糖果包装见证着三十载光阴流转,口罩残片记录着疫情时期的集体记忆。看着聪明的生存策略背后,是雏鸟被缠绕窒息的风险,是99%的海鸟体内累积的塑料微粒,是加州神鹫因吞食垃圾,造成雏鸟死亡的危机。

一开始,我们只是觉得这些鸟巢里出现了塑料.....
