The percentage of threatened breeding bird species as percent of total number of known breeding bird species by filling in the respective column in the given table.
Answer to Problem 1DA
The threatened breeding bird species are observed lowest (4.5 %) in Rwanda and highest (33.9%) in China.
Explanation of Solution
The percentage of threatened breeding bird species as percentage of total number of known breeding bird species will be calculated by taking the number of breeding bird species in 2002 and dividing that number by the total number of known breeding bird species from 1992 to 2002, and multiplying it by 100.
Country | Total Land Area in Square Kilometers (Square Miles) | Protected Area as Percent of Total Land Area (2003) |
Total Number of Known Breeding Bird Species (1992–2002) |
Number of Threatened Breeding Bird Species (2002) | Threatened Breeding Bird Species as percent of Total-number of Known-Breeding Bird- Spcies |
Afghanistan | 647,668 (250,000) | 0.3 | 181 | 11 | 6.1 |
Cambodia | 181,088 (69,900) | 23.7 | 183 | 19 | 10.4 |
China | 9,599,445 (3,705,386) | 7.8 | 218 | 74 | 33.9 |
Costa Rica | 51,114 (19,730) | 23.4 | 279 | 13 | 4.7 |
Haiti | 27,756 (10,714) | 0.3 | 62 | 14 | 22.6 |
India | 3,288,570 (1,269,388) | 5.2 | 458 | 72 | 15.7 |
Rwanda | 26,344 (10,169) | 7.7 | 200 | 9 | 4.5 |
Unites States | 9,633,915 (3,718,691) | 15.8 | 508 | 55 | 10.8 |
