Wildlife populations in Catalonia have declined by an average of 25% in the last 18 years

Birds and butterflies are key indicators for the measurement of biodiversity loss

According to a study in which CREAF participated, the populations of birds or butterflies living in open habitats have been negatively affected by the loss of field and scrubland habitat. Conversely, species which live in forests have been favored. These variations were related with changes in the Catalonian (and Mediterranean) landscape over the last few decades.
