European common bird indicators produced by the PECBMS were used in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) report: The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture.  The report concludes that biodiversity for food and agriculture is indispensable to food security, sustainable development, and the supply of many vital ecosystem services, and further that unsustainably managed production systems are a key threat to bird species.

The EBCC’s wild bird indicators are used in a section looking at threats and trends in bird populations, alongside data from BirdLife International (page 97).
