Pernambuco Foliage-gleaner
Encyclopedia
The Pernambuco Foliage-gleaner (Automolus lammi) is a species of bird
in the Furnariidae family. It is found in forests of north-eastern Brazil
. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies
of the White-eyed Foliage-gleaner
. The morphology
of the two is very similar, but their voices differ significantly. Following the split, the Pernambuco Foliage-gleaner has not been rated by BirdLife International
, but as it is restricted to a region with extensive habitat destruction
, its status gives cause for concern.

Habitat destruction
Habitat destruction is the process in which natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the species present. In this process, the organisms that previously used the site are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity. Habitat destruction by human activity mainly for the purpose of...
