The world is one complex system, where everything affects everything. As humans evolve and advance we cause challenges and harm to other life that we share a planet with. Things like climate change, deforestation, land development, and so much more negatively affect animals. We believe that Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are part of the animals affected. To test this hypothesis, we observed hummingbirds in Providence over the course of three weeks and studied their migration patterns from past years. Through our research and hard work we concluded that our hypothesis was correct.
