| What
is ABC?
ABC’s aim is to promote knowledge about and the conservation
of African birds and their habitats. ABC takes a Continent-wide
view and maintains a Conservation Fund
to complement and support the work of local societies, such as Nature
Kenya, and of international conservation organisations working in
Africa.
The Club publishes a Bulletin
twice a year to serve as a forum in which members can publish articles
and opinions, and read about recent discoveries throughout the Continent.
ABC runs an information service for members and administers an e-mail
discussion site, AfricanBirding,
for people to communicate with any of hundreds of members world-wide
and get answers to questions and advice about birding in Africa. |
| The
ABC Bulletin
The
ABC Bulletin is published twice-yearly and is packed full of feature
articles about the African birding scene and includes:
-
news and recent reports from around the region including details
of new species, conservation updates, etc

fully illustrated identification articles for difficult groups
such as the greenbuls
-
informed reviews of Africa-related birding books and sound recordings

to top birding spots in Africa
