(2022) The minimum land area requiring conservation attention to safeguard biodiversity. D., Worsdell, T., Sandbrook, C., Gibbon, G., Kundar, K., Mehta, P., Maron, M., Williams, B. C., Waldron, A., Di Marco, M., Butchart, S. In addition, we undertake research on how can data from birds be used to track global environmental trends, and on quantifying the impact of conservation efforts. We also undertake a wide range of collaborative research to understand better the state of the world’ birds and the sites and habitats they depend upon, the threats to them, and the conservation solutions required. It also includes supporting BirdLife Partners to identify some of the most important sites for biodiversity: Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas, which are part of a wider network of Key Biodiversity Areas. This includes identifying which bird species worldwide are closest to extinction - by regularly assessing all 11,000 bird species for the IUCN Red List (in our role as Red List Authority for birds for IUCN). I lead BirdLife’s global Science Division, which develops BirdLife’s global scientific datasets, research and priority-setting that underpins the Conservation Programmes implemented by the BirdLife Partnership of nearly 120 national biodiversity conservation organisations around the world, and that provides a sound scientific basis for BirdLife’s policy, advocacy and communication work.

I am Chief Scientist at BirdLife International, where I have worked since 2002.
