Rules for using PECBMS data
PECBMS is happy to see the data used by external scientists for research purposes or other publications. However, we recommend always contacting the PECBMS coordination unit in advance to avoid misinterpreting data on the website.
Indices and trends for 170 European bird species and a set of main indicators for Europe and the EU are now freely available for download in Excel sheets (Data provision and co-authorship policies apply).
Using the data, we would be grateful if you could acknowledge the data source as ‚EBCC/BirdLife/RSPB/CSO‘.
We appreciate your help in keeping evidence of the usage of our results. For this purpose, please fill in the simple registration form after downloading the data files.
