Global warming is regarded as a major threat to birds and other biodiversity. In particular, birds of montane habitats are especially susceptible to climate change impacts, as they have restricted opportunities to move to higher elevations to find suitable climate space. The Dotterel is one of several birds on the UK’s endangered species list. Through global warming its Cairngorm habitat has been irreversibly changed.
