Birds migrate

A new study published May 1, 2023, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that birth rates for bird species have been declining around the world due to climate change.

You have probably noticed when you go for a walk in the winter that everything is much calmer or quieter and this is largely due to the fact that many birds hide underground, migrate or simply change colour to survive the cold temperatures.

Having long-term monitoring data of the natural environment is essential for scientists to be able to study trends and understand the changes that human activity is causing to ecosystems.
