Institute for Bird Populations
· “...founded in 1989 to study the causes of bird population declines.... We collaborate locally,
nationally, and globally with individuals, government agencies, and NGOs in diverse fields to
assess the effects of land management actions, climate change, and other ecological stressors
on bird populations, and prescribe practical solutions. We use cutting-edge science, and publish
results in peer-reviewed journals.”

Survivial by Degrees: 389 Bird Species on the Brink
· "Audubon scientists studied 604 North American bird species using 140 million bird records—including
observational data from bird lovers across the country. We plugged our bird data into the same
climate models used by more than 800 experts in 80 countries to map where each bird might live in
the future under a changing climate."
