This website is intended for all those interested in birds and their conservation, and who would like to take part in the second bird atlas project.
SABAP2 is a follow-up from the first Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP1) which took place from 1987-1991. The project has been designed to build on the successes of SABAP1 and make even a greater contribution to bio-diversity planning and conservation in southern Africa. To read more about the background to SABAP2 and how the project has changed since SABAP1 click here.
In the first year since July 2007, when the project started, until the end of June 2008, SABAP2 made a great deal of progress. We collected 223 000 records of bird distribution on 4000 checklists. The 1-year report has the details.
We would recommend that you bookmark this page to obtain quick and easy access to the site. Updates will be made on a regular basis, and as an atlaser it will be important to keep abreast with project developments and news. |
