Censuses

This title presents an overview of the uses and developments of the African Waterfowl Census, illustrates the usefulness of biological data to the implementation of international conventions and agreements, summarises other international waterbird conservation initiatives, and overviews each national effort within Africa. From this, a preliminary strategy for applied programmes for waterbird monitoring in Africa is proposed.

The IUCN Bangladesh Country Office has published this manual for conducting bird census, bird ringing and sample collection and analysis in hopes that it will provide a guidelines for correctly performing these tasks. This manual will be a great source of reference for researchers, experts, volunteers and all other stakeholders involved in the monitoring of wild birds and avian influenza.
