Native bird species in South Australia's national parks are declining at an alarming rate — continuing a decades-long trend. The South Australian Ornithological Association said data collected by Birds SA showed 15 species no longer found in parks were common 30 years ago. The decline also indicated the worst extinction rate of birds in any region in Australia. The gloomy outlook was contained in the association's submission to the State Government's Environment, Resources and Development Committee inquiry into biodiversity. Its report was tabled in State Parliament yesterday.
