The above map shows the simulated distribution of Sun Lark (Galerida modesta) for the present day (2008) based on recent observed climate change. The map was generated by relating the species's current range to a current climate simulation produced by the Hadley Centre (HADCM3 model using the B2a scenario of future greenhouse gas emissions).

The modelling and mapping work presented here was undertaken at Durham University with funding from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and using bird range data provided by the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. The MacArthur Foundation funded the production of these maps on this web-page. Improved presentation of these resources was facilitated through support by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
