Up to two-thirds of North America's birds are vulnerable to extinction due to climate change. The good news is that we can help. In 2014, after the publication of Audubon's first climate change report, 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 Audubon scientists are able to use to document in peer-reviewed research that birds are responding to climate change and shifting their ranges. You can join us in this fight by observing birds in your area, using our specific protocol, and helping us learn about how birds are responding to the changing climate.

If you would like to help us build a better world for birds by joining Climate Watch to test and improve climate models, you can!
