Throughout history, birds and other wildlife have had ample space to migrate and adapt to changes in the environment. Today, they’re working under tight constraints: one-third of U.S. land is cow pasture, another fifth is farmland, and the urban 3.6 percent is impassable for most wildlife.
It’s hard to imagine, but thankfully there’s a way to get a clear picture of how climate change may impact the birds around you: Audubon’s Birds and Climate Visualizer. Launched as part of our 2019 Survival by Degrees report, this online tool combines the latest climate models and bird data available in an easy-to-use virtual map.
Just enter your zip code to see which impacts from climate change are predicted for your area, and how they will affect birds and your community. Birds are present in every landscape and they tell us about the health of the places we share. Check out the visualizer and learn more about what the birds in your area have to say. |
