Editing Corvidae (section)

===Status and conservation===
Unlike many other bird [[family (biology)|families]], corvid [[fitness (biology)|fitness]] and reproduction, especially with many crows, has increased due to human development. The survival and reproductive success of certain crows and ravens is assisted by their close relationship with humans.<ref name = m&n2006 />

Human development provides additional resources by clearing land, creating shrublands rich in berries and insects. When the cleared land naturally replenishes, jays and crows use the young dense trees for nesting sites. Ravens typically use larger trees in denser forest.<ref name = m&n2006 />

Most corvids are not threatened, and many species are even increasing in population due to human activity. However, a few species are in danger. For example, the destruction of the Southeast Asian rainforest is endangering [[mixed-species feeding flock]]s with members from the family Corvidae.<ref name=Lee/> Also, since its [[semiarid]] scrubland [[habitat]] is an endangered [[ecosystem]], the [[Florida scrub jay]] has a small and declining population.<ref name=BLI/><ref name=Breininger/> A number of island species, which are more vulnerable to [[introduced species]] and habitat loss, have been driven to extinction, such as the [[New Zealand raven]], or are threatened, like the [[Mariana crow]].

The [[American crow]] population of the United States has grown over the years. It is possible that the American crow, due to humans increasing suitable habitat, will cause [[Northwestern crow]]s and [[fish crow]]s to decline.<ref name=Marzluff/>
