The latest stats tell a too-familiar story: from the birds in our fields and hedgerows to iconic seabird colonies along our coasts... decline continues. 🚨📉

Bolder action is needed now if we are to halt the loss of species from our landscapes.

8/Almost all data & population trends in the indicators are from bird monitoring schemes organised by @btobirds.bsky.social like @bbs-birds.bsky.social, @webs-gsmp.bsky.social & @smp-seabirds.bsky.social on behalf of partnerships with @rspbscience.bsky.social & @jncc.bsky.social. Huge thanks to all!

The Wild Bird Indicators, using BTO data, have been updated today. It’s not good news. 😔 The ‘all bird species’ index shows an overall shallow decline of 16% since 1970. Find out more ➡️ www.gov.uk/government/s...

The decline seen across habitats is deeply concerning, with 42% of species declining in the short term

These indicators reflect the broader state of UK wildlife, meaning we need to take bigger and more effective action if we want to halt the loss of species from our landscapes
