European Bird Census Council expresses its deep concern about the military attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine. Birds do not know borders, and their research and conservation require international cooperation. Within EBCC projects, we work together with individuals and organisations across whole Europe towards common goals. Regardless of differences in languages, cultures, religion, or political views, the EBCC network has always shown a sense of cooperation and solidarity.

A year after the publication of the EBBA2 book, the European Bird Census Council (EBCC) has launched a completely new EBBA2 website. Everybody can access it at www.ebba2.info and see interactive distribution maps of all European breeding birds, find out more about the project and its outputs, and make data requests. The web version of EBBA2 complements the book, where detailed species accounts and summary chapters can be found.
