The latest European Grassland Butterfly Indicator is out. It shows that grassland butterflies have declined by 47% since 1991, indicating a huge loss of grassland biodiversity. The data come from 16,150 transects & 15,000 volunteers. We are calling for urgent action. www.bc-europe.eu/documents/69...

Birds are our compass. Wetlands are the map. 🗺️

Across the BirdLife Partnership, we work where wetlands are lived in and relied upon, bringing scientific evidence together with knowledge shaped by generations of close observation. 🔬

Wetlands: a shared heritage for birds and people
This World Wetlands Day, we celebrate the theme, ‘Wetlands and traditional knowledge: celebrating cultural heritage.’ As wetlands disappear, birds, livelihoods and knowledge are at risk.
