Best Answer

Habitat loss from human activity is the Sedge Wren's biggest modern threat. Although globally considered a species of "Least Concern" by the IUCN, Sedge Wrens have been listed as endagered and nearing extirpation (or, "local extinction") in a number of locales in their natural, Eastern American habitat.

"Human activity" includes construction, urban sprawl, deforestation and even changing agricultural practices. Farm runoff is just one contributor to wetland loss throughout the region - affecting Sedge Wrens along with a myriad other species calling bogs, marshes and other "swampy places" their homes.
