Species

The effects of climate change on ecosystems are complex. The impact on the species and habitats protected by the Bern Convention may differ widely, depending on the species, their habitats and location.

Volume 6 of the Handbook of Mammals of the World (HMW) covers 27 families in two orders, lagomorphs and most of the families of the order Rodentia. 

The interdisciplinary situation analysis (ISA) presented in this document is the first of its kind and pilots various analyses of secondary data that may be drawn upon to inform the second phase of the landscape assessment, which involves primary data collection. This is the first analysis of its kind and has been performed with PiN methodological development in mind, thus its format will likely see changes as progress is made on different PiN pilot site studies.
