The Second European Breeding Bird Atlas
– one of the most ambitious biodiversity mapping projects ever done, providing vital data for conservation

European Breeding Bird Atlases of the EBCC
The first European Breeding Bird Atlas (EBBA1, Hagemeijer & Blair 1997), published by EBCC in 1997, was a milestone in European ornithology and an invaluable basis for conservation. European landscapes and climate, however, have seen marked changes since the 1980s, when most of the data for EBBA1 were collected. A new atlas project was therefore launched by EBCC in 2010 with the aim of providing up-to-date information on the distribution and abundance of birds and documenting changes since EBBA1. The second European Breeding Bird Atlas (EBBA2) was published in 2020; an online version was released in 2021.
