A landmark work for conservationists, this volume presents the first integrated picture of the distribution and abundance of the breeding birds of Europe. Assembled from the national bird surveys initiated in 1971 by the European Ornithological Atlas Committee (later the European Bird Census Council), it combines and maps data gathered by over 10,000 ornithologists working throughout Europe. The accompanying text elaborates on the mapped data and there is an artist's impression for each species. Introduction in 14 languages.

Presenting an integrated picture of the distribution and abundance of the breeding birds of Europe, this text compiles and organizes bird survey data from all over Europe. Over 100 regional and national atlases have been produced, surveying areas from such obscure regions as Madeira and the Azores. It describes the present and allows the reader to predict success of future conservation initiatives and the failures of further habitat loss and degradation.
This landmark volume presents, for the very first time, an integrated picture of the distribution and abundance of the breeding birds of Europe. It is a truly monumental work, the initiative for which dates back to as long ago as 1971. The national bird surveys initiated by the European Ornithological Atlas Committee (latterly working through the European Bird Census Council) were, in many cases, the first of their kind in the countries involved. Over 100 regional and national atlases have been produced as the census work progressed and several countries have gone so far as to carry out follow-up surveys subsequently.
