Research at work for nature

More and more science projects by conservation and environmental charities show that, globally, wildlife and nature are in trouble. The BTOs recent bird communities’ research illustrates both the positive and negative effects of feeding garden birds while the RSPB’s Reserve Report 2018 reports winners and losers around the country – all vital information in the fight to help nature in the face of habitat loss and climate change. On this edition of Nature’s Voice Jane Markham speaks to BTO research ecologist Dr Kate Plummer and the RSPB’s senior reserve ecologist Kelly Thomas about their findings.
