Now in Stock - Farming and Birds
In Farming and Birds, Ian Newton discusses the changes in bird populations that have occurred, mainly in the twentieth century, in relation to changes in land-use. In this recent addition to the New Naturalist series, he explores how human practices affect wildlife and how this understanding is essential to the future conservation and maintenance of bird populations.

The 2017 Big Butterfly Count, organised by Butterfly Conservation, runs from 14th July to 6th August.

This nationwide survey, launched in 2010 and conducted annually, is the world’s largest survey of butterflies; in 2016 over 36,000 people took part! The survey aims to investigate trends in butterfly and moth species and will help guide conservation efforts within the UK.

Pelagic Publishing
Local Devon publisher Pelagic Publishing was established in 2010 to address the lack of practical ecology and conservation books, and to bridge the gap between conservation research and practical application. Most of Pelagic’s books are aimed at practicing ecologists and conservationists and are intended to provide up to date and detailed information on taxonomy, data management, applied conservation and field techniques. 
Highlights include a series on Conservation Evidence, which looks at the scientific research behind conservation interventions, as well as the acclaimed Naturalists’ Handbooks, previously published by Richmond Publishing, now continued and rejuvenated by Pelagic. 
Books from Pelagic Publishing :
Marine Climate Change Report
A significant new publication by the UK Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) discusses the effects of climate change on our seas and coastlines and summarises 10 years of research and reporting.

Environmental Benefits of Beavers
A 12-year study, conducted by the University of Stirling, has highlighted the transformative powers of beavers in improving biodiversity and increasing water and sediment storage within agriculturally degraded areas.

Link between jellyfish blooms and offshore wind farms
The increase in offshore oil/gas platforms and wind farms may be contributing to the increase in jellyfish blooms observed in recent years by providing immature polyps with a vital surface to attach to.
