Over the years and in all cultures men have watched birds to decrypt messages they sent us about the health of the world in which we live. Today, the scientific study of birds gives us reliable information on the consequences of global change that the planet is undergoing. The Messengers report, published by Birdlife International in November 2015, warns of the consequences of climate change on birds and other organisms on the planet. It also provides measures and solutions "for man and nature" whose purpose is to protect ecosystems and preserve global health. But these guidelines would be in vain without a credible commitment to compliance by governments to improve conditions for future generations.
