The Messengers

Abstract

Birds are far better known than most other animals, and they are powerful messengers for the natural world. They are telling us how climate change poses risks to nature and people worldwide. This synthesis of hundreds of scientific studies illustrates the many ways by which climate change threatens birds and other wildlife. It describes actions underway to help nature adapt, and also shows for the first time how the BirdLife Partnership is implementing nature-based solutions across the world to reduce climate risks and build people’s resilience.
