Wildlife in the Changing Andorran Pyrenees

As climate change steadily transforms the high slopes of the Andorran Pyrenees, species are being forced to shift their ranges, and some are facing alarming declines. Human encroachment further disrupts this delicate alpine world. Still, little research has been done to understand how these forces reshape the landscape. Local organizations are urgently seeking sustainable solutions; now, you can be at the forefront of this critical research.

Join researchers on this expedition to help investigate the changing biodiversity of the region. While trekking through the breathtaking landscapes, you’ll study small mammals, birds, and alpine flora. You’ll weigh and measure mammals, monitor nest boxes for boreal owls, and spot other bird species. Your team will also track the growth of tree species and observe bats to determine how these key species respond to climate change. This data will be vital for understanding how species’ life cycles are shifting and how best to protect this delicate ecosystem in a changing climate.

Your work will help scientists understand how species’ life cycles are shifting and whether ecological relationships, such as plant blooming and pollinator activity, are staying in sync. This data will provide valuable insight into conservation planning and local decision-making.
