How are woodpeckers losing their habitat?

Woodpeckers are losing their habitat primarily due to deforestation and urbanization, which result in the destruction of old trees that provide nesting sites and food sources. Logging and land development reduce the availability of dead or dying trees, essential for woodpeckers to forage and excavate their nests. Additionally, climate change alters their habitats, affecting the ecosystems they rely on for survival. These combined pressures lead to declining woodpecker populations in many regions.
