Wetland habitat conservation can help waterbird communities to adjust to climate warming

As the world warms up, species move north as it becomes possible to occupy new areas. The phenomenon is well documented, including for wintering waterbirds. Many species now stay in or close to Finland, including, for example, whooper swans. However, these shifts in distribution are not fast enough to keep up with the rapid change in climate.
