Bird Conservation & Flyway Monitoring

Safeguarding Somalia's avian treasures along major migratory routes through scientific monitoring and community engagement.

The Bird Conservation & Flyway Monitoring program safeguards Somalia's avian treasures, recognizing its strategic position along major migratory routes. We meticulously identify and advocate for the protection of Important Bird Areas (IBAs), including coastal wetlands, riverine forests, and arid grasslands.

Our comprehensive bird monitoring network spans across Somalia's diverse ecosystems, from the coastal mangroves to the highland forests. We conduct regular bird counts, migration tracking, and breeding surveys to understand population trends and habitat requirements. Working closely with international bird conservation organizations, we contribute valuable data to global flyway conservation efforts. Our community-based monitoring programs train local birdwatchers and guides who become champions for avian conservation in their regions.
