Topics: Climate change adaptation

This indicator shows the evolution of the number of observations of Southern European dragonfly species in Flanders. Due to climate change the number of records of Southern European dragonflies increases in Flanders. Some species that were only occasional visitors in the past, such as Lestes barbarus now have permanent populations.
