Description
Jiming Cheng and co-authors present a 2026 study on five tragopan bird species in China. These birds face harm from land use and a warming climate. The team used a habitat model to map where each species can live now. They then asked how those ranges may shift under future climate paths.
One strong warming path gave the birds more total suitable land over time. Even so, the centers of their ranges shift toward lower, warmer places. Land use by people was the top factor in where the birds can live. The authors warn the birds may not reach new areas in time. They urge paths between habitats and new safe zones.
