The State of Birds in Switzerland

The annual publication “The State of Birds in Switzerland” summarises the results of our various monitoring projects, conducted with the support of more than 2,000 volunteers in all parts of the country. Among other themes, the 2024 report examines ways to promote biodiversity in farmland. It also highlights the role of the Alps as an ark of the Anthropocene.
