As mentioned in our recent 'This Month' article on Swallows, Swifts and Martins, climate change will have a huge effect on our wildlife from possible large scale extinctions to less dramatic relocations.
Below is an interesting selection of articles recently published in the press on what is set to become a huge area of interest to scientists and wildlife lovers alike.
The Times has an article titled: "Plants and wildlife travel north as temperature rises."
New Scientist covers "Bird Migration at mercy of weather patterns."
The BBC has an article on how we are losing wildlife diversity due to climate change and development.
Don't forget we can all play our part in monitoring the effects of climate change on our wildlife. If you are interested in getting involved in recording for ‘your patch’ then you can do so either via the British Naturalist Association or via the UK Phenology website.
