About Oriental Bird Club - aims
Oriental Bird Club, UK registered charity 297242, is for birders and ornithologists around the world who are interested in birds of the Oriental region and their conservation.
This vast area embraces tropical and temperate forests, outstanding wetlands, and grasslands providing habitat for over 2600 bird species, many of them little known.
Over 300 Oriental bird species are designated by BirdLife International as threatened by forest destruction, wetland drainage, hunting and trade. Conservation of these species is often hampered by a lack of knowledge. Oriental Bird Club supports conservation work in the Oriental region by encouraging studies of birds and their habitats.
