NOW ON THE WEB FOR YOU.
Kenya
Birdfinder seeks to record bird observations as a source of information
to help us understand birds on a local, national and international
scale. The database will enable you to store and manage your own
observations, view, download or print reports, checklists or maps
of your choice and make a contribution to bird conservation in
Kenya by submitting your records.
We
are happy to announce to you that the system has now began its
operation and bird watchers around the country are thus encouraged
to join the system and submit their bird observation online. This
will be very useful in the collection of data on bird species
occurrence and distribution. All you need to do is to log on to
www.worldbirds.org/kenya
and register your personal details to gain access to all the sites,
pages and range of tools as provided in the system.
The
system will enable you to explore different locations around Kenya
and find out what birds have been seen and when and where they
were recorded. As well as contributing your own observations you
will be able to view other people’s records, which may influence
your next birding trip.
The
records that you add to the Kenya Birdfinder will provide a comprehensive
picture on what is happening to Kenya’s avifauna in terms
of their abundance trends and distribution. Once on the site you
can also visit similar systems in other countries. Your observation
will help make a difference wherever you travel and record birds.
We will also appreciate any comments and contribution from the
users that will contribute to developing the system further.
