Yellow-breasted Bunting (Emberiza aureola) is a small passerine which migrates over 8000 km twice a year between its breeding sites and wintering sites in Asia. Due to over-exploitation, habitat loss and other threats, their numbers have plummeted in the past 15 years. Therefore, they are listed as “Near Threatened” by the IUCN in 2004, then “Vulnerable” in 2008, further uplisted to“Endangered" in 2013, and even to "Critically Endangered" in 2017. If we cannot revert this trend, they may become the next Passenger Pigeon and will extinct in the foreseeable future.
