Goa Bird Atlas 2023-24 Surveys are Completed.
Goa Bird Atlas Will be Released in
June 2025!
Overview
Goa bird atlas is an ambitious citizen science driven initiative to map the distribution and abundance of birds of Goa. The Goa Bird Atlas has been completed in a SINGLE year effort, and has given fine resolution insights to distribution and abundance of the common birds which was previously poorly known.
Support the Atlas
Though the Goa Bird Atlas surveys are complete, our team still requires support for printing, publication and dissimination of information far and wide! For this, we seek support of like-minded individuals or groups, corporates who's CSR mandates align with environment education and conservation.
As an individual or organisation, if you are willing to support the atlas program through sponsorships or logistical support, please get in touch the Goa Bird Atlas Coordinator at contact@arannya.in
