A new study involving BTO has shown how birds, insects and spiders have used nature reserves and areas protected for wildlife to expand northwards in response to climate change and other factors. This work combined information from volunteer recording and national monitoring, including data from BTO surveys, to provide crucial evidence for the importance of protected areas for more than 250 species.
