Climate Watch
According to Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ’s 2019 climate change report, ‘Survival By Degrees,’ up to two-thirds of North American birds are vulnerable to extinction due to climate change. The good news is that there are plenty of opportunities to protect birds from this existential threat, and Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ members have been leading the way for years. Thousands of people asked how they could help make the world a better place for birds, and Climate Watch was born. Since 2016, Climate Watch volunteers have collected data which Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ scientists are able to use to document in peer reviewed research that birds are responding to climate change and shifting their ranges.
