Spain
Catalan Ornithological Institute. is a non-lucrative association devoted to the study of birds in Catalonia. Founded in 1975 as Grup Català d'Anellament, ICO has specialized in the development and coordination of large scale monitoring schemmes requiring the contribution of many ornithologists.
Great Britain
Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology. The Edward Grey Institute is part of the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford. Founded in 1937, it conducts research into the behaviour, ecology, evolution and conservation of birds, with a strong emphasis on understanding organisms in their natural environments. Read more on the history of the EGI. The EGI is particularly well known for its long-term population studies of birds, and as one of the birthplaces of behavioural ecology. These research themes are as strong as ever, and have recently been supplemented by vigorous programmes studying Reproductive strategies in birds, speciation in Neotropical passerines, and the evolutionary ecology of Host-parasite systems.
British Trust for Ornithology. The British Trust for Ornithology has existed since 1933 as an independent, scientific research trust, investigating the populations, movements and ecology of wild birds in the British Isles. Our speciality is the design and implementation of volunteer wild bird surveys. Our partnership between a large number of volunteers and a small scientific staff has proved to be a powerful, productive and cost-effective way of monitoring wild birds. Volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life put their bird-watching skills to good use. They record wild birds systematically using survey methods developed by our scientists, who then compile the records and analyse them for publication. This work makes a direct and vital contribution to bird conservation, by enabling both campaigners and decision-makers to set priorities and target resources. It also provides a unique insight into the state of our environment and how it may be changing...AThe specific ite on birds and climate change is here. More literature on climate change and birds are here.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Our work is driven by a passionate belief that we all have a responsibility to protect birds and the environment. Bird populations reflect the health of the planet on which our future depends. The need for an effective bird conservation organisation has never been greater. Climate change, agricultural intensification, expansion of urban areas and transport infrastructure, and over-exploitation of our seas all pose major threats to birds. The RSPB could not exist without its supporters and members. Whether you join us, give a donation, purchase items from us or undertake voluntary work, your support is vital to the future of birds and the places where they live. Specifics on clinmate change are here.

Africa:
Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology is a South African biological research and conservation institute based at the University of Cape Town. The mission statement of the Institute is “to promote and undertake scientific studies involving birds, and contribute to the practice affecting the maintenance of biological diversity and the sustained use of biological resources”.
North America
Smithsonian Ornithology. Bird research continues to flourish at the Institution's National Museum of Natural History, National Zoological Park, Environmental Research Center, Tropical Research Institute, and at field sites throughout the world. In just the past decade, Smithsonian ornithologists have studied the impacts of urbanization on birds, the conservation value of shade-grown coffee, the effects of global climate change on migratory birds, the fascinating and sometimes dismal history of island avifaunas, the ravages of emerging infectious diseases on birds, and the processes underlying the fantastic diversity of South American birds. The specific site on climate change and birds is here.

Bird conservation NGOs:
Bird Life International. BirdLife International is a global Partnership of conservation organisations that strives to conserve birds, their habitats and global biodiversity, working with people towards sustainability in the use of natural resources. BirdLife Partners operate in over one hundred countries and territories worldwide. Learn more in BirdLife Partners. BirdLife Partners collaborate on regional work programmes in every continent. Learn more in Regional Work. Global Partnership explains how BirdLife International is organised. Our Vision explains how BirdLife works.

Climate change and birds: perspectives and prospects from southern Africa. (2004). Global climate warming, now conclusively linked to anthropogenically-increased CO2 levels in the earth's atmosphere, has already had impacts on the earth's biodiversity and is predicted to threaten more than 1 million species with extinction by 2050. Climate change in southern Africa is expected to involve higher temperatures and lower rainfall, with less predictability and a greater frequency of severe storms, fires and El Niño events. The predicted changes to birds in Africa — the continent most at risk from climate change — have hardly been explored, yet birds and many other vertebrates face uncertain futures. Here, in one of the first focused analyses of the correlates of climate change vulnerability in southern African birds, we offer a wide-ranging perspective on which species may be most at risk, and explore which traits may influence the adaptability or extinction risk of bird species...

Einen Ueberblick ueber die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Voegel wird sehr gut in einem Report vom WWF und von Partners in Flight http://www.partnersinflight.org/climate_change/ gegeben.
Der Klimawandel wird, zusammen mit Habitatszerstoerung, zum Aussterben vieler Vogelarten fueren. Siehe Artikel von Jetz et al (2007)
Vogelarten / Species
Pinguine
Sub-Antarctic king penguins could suffer seriously as a result of global warming, and may even disappear altogether in coming decades, according to a study led by French scientists. This is because of rising temperatures that reduce the amount of small fish and squid available for the penguins to feed on, say Yvon Le Maho of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and colleagues in PNAS.
