The report of the second phase of the Monarch (Modelling Natural Resource Responses to Climate Change) project is now available, focussing upon four case study areas in Hampshire, Central Highlands, Snowdonia and Cuilcagh and Pettigo in Ireland. Results suggest that the modelled species response in the study areas does not always reflect the predicted bioclimatic sensitivity and while dominant species may be expected to continue to be dominant in the case study areas, losses in climate space for some are predicted in central and eastern England.

The MONARCH 3 synthesis report is the result of a seven-year partnership programme, involving 15 partner organisations across Britain and Ireland, including governmental agencies and NGOs and a research team led by the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford.

The final phase of the MONARCH programme studied the projected change in suitable climate for 120 rare or threatened species that are currently being conserved through the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Thirty-two of these were explored in detail and it was found that a majority are likely to be affected by climate change.
