Towards monitoring, understanding and forecasting global biomass flows of aerial migrants

GloBAMTrillions of migratory insects and birds, encompassing thousands of tons of animal biomass, move through the air within and across continents. Migrants are an important component of biodiversity and provide a multitude of services and disservices to human economy, agriculture and health. Over the past years, many of these migrant populations have alarmingly declined. The terrestrial and aerial habitats of these migrants have changed dramatically, particularly from human-driven land use alterations, increased urbanization, massive extensions of artificial light and rapid climate change.

GloBAM aims at quantifying the magnitude, spatial extent and timing of aerial migrations, understanding their (functional) relations with environmental and socio-economic variables, and projecting the consequences of future socio-economic changes on migratory populations.
