More than five years after a landmark study in the journal Science showed that North American bird populations declined by nearly 30% since 1970, a new report finds that the concerning trend is continuing apace.

In the face of climate change, researchers estimate the U.S. investment in agricultural research needed to maintain productivity - finding it comparable to the investment made following the two world wars.
