Monitoring reports for common birds in the National Parks Network are available
The latest reports from the Common Bird Monitoring Program in the National Parks Network (SACIN winter 2024–2025 and SACRE spring 2025) are now available for consultation.
The results confirm the high diversity of birds in the Network, with 156 species recorded in winter and 219 in spring. Overall, species richness remains stable in most parks, while abundance shows greater variability depending on the territory and habitat.
At the Network level, negative trends predominate in the analyzed species during winter, while spring reveals a greater diversity of behaviors, with decreases, stability, and increases depending on the case.
The results show heterogeneous patterns: overall stability in species richness, but greater variability in abundance and signs of change in certain habitats, especially forest and aquatic habitats, such as those found in Tablas de Daimiel National Park. Local improvements have been detected in some parks, while negative trends persist in others, requiring monitoring, particularly in Sierra Nevada National Park.
These reports consolidate a time series initiated in 2012, which is essential for assessing the conservation status of biodiversity and guiding adaptive management within the Network.
