The consequences for Earth’s life-support systems are increasingly well-studied, but knowledge of how community shifts affect cultural services associated with wildlife lags behind. We integrated bird census data (three years across 150 point-count locations) with questionnaire surveys (>400 people) to evaluate changes in culturally important species across climate and land-use gradients in Costa Rica. For farmers, urbanites, and birdwatchers alike, species valued for identity, bequest, birdwatching, acoustic aesthetics, and education were more likely to occupy wetter regions and forested sites, whereas disliked species tended to occupy drier and deforested sites.

Questionnaire survey data is not complete in dryad and is available from the University of British Columbia and are stored in the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability following the guidelines of the Behavioural Research Ethics Board for researchers who meet the criteria for access to confidential data.
