On this mesmerizing animated map, you can watch the projected movements of nearly 3,000 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians over the next 70 years. The projections show animals searching for cooler temperatures in our warming world while avoiding man-made obstacles like roads and cities. Luckily birds have a big advantage in the search for new habitats: wings.
These maps, published by the Nature Conservancy, highlight the major migratory routes wildlife will take and the lands that we will need to preserve to make these journeys possible. Learn more about these projected migrations and how they can guide our future conservation.
