Very disappointed with the Wiley production team who did a bafflingly abysmal job handling our accepted manuscript (for 5+ months!), but we are grateful to the editor for pushing through for us.

The original SoIB 2023 report is available for free, and is filled with wonderful illustrations! You can find the PDF report as well as the raw data sheets of our results over at t.co/FrxHFwTcfX (5/5)

Though grim, our findings can help guide research and #conservation action in the country, and also inform global assessments on resident species for which systematic data are lacking. (4/n)

SoIB abundance #trends broadly match results from elsewhere. 204 spp. have declined in the long term and 142 are currently declining! Open habitat birds are struggling as a group. (3/n)

We delve into the nitty-gritty methodological details (inc. best practices for analysing eBird data) that enabled us to generate 3 metrics (long-term change, current annual trend, range size) for 942 Indian birds & thereby assign Conservation Priority status for each. (2/n)

Please add me to the list! Thanks
