BirdLife International has published the results of a new study summarized in the book called “A Climatic Atlas of European Breeding Birds”. This atlas marks a major advance in understanding the potential impacts of climate change on wildlife. It shows that during the course of the 21st century, the changing climatic conditions will force most species, including some AEWA species, to move into new areas. For many of them this will prove difficult, and combined with other threats, the risk of their extinction in Europe will increase.

The atlas not only shows maps of the potential range of each species breeding in Europe at the end of this century, it also provides ways of responding to this challenge.
