Audubon
scientists have used hundreds of thousands of citizen-science
observations and sophisticated climate models to predict how birds in
the U.S. and Canada will react to climate change. Our work defines the
climate conditions birds need to survive, then maps where those
conditions will be found in the future as the Earth’s climate responds
to increased greenhouse gases. It’s the broadest and most detailed study
of its kind, and it’s the closest thing we have to a field guide to the
future of North American birds. This comprehensive, first-of-its kind
study predicts how climate change could affect the ranges of 588 North
American birds. To read about the study, its implications and how it
effects birds in your neighborhood, please visit the Audubon Climate
