This ongoing programme collects and analyses monitoring data on millions of waterbirds from around 2000 volunteers globally to produce the fourth edition of the tri-annual Waterbird Population Estimates.
This project is being carried out in many countries throughout the world, with input from all our offices and strong support from our network of experts in the specialist groups.
Project Description:
In more than 100 countries, millions of waterbirds are counted each year. Wetlands International brings all this information together. We provide information on the global state of the birds and analyse changes in the population.
In 1967, IWRB (Wetlands International’s predecessor) established in the International Waterbird Census (IWC) in Europe and a few countries in Asia and Africa. In 1987, the Asian Waterbird Census was established and in the early 1990’s this was followed by the African Waterbird Census and the Neotropical Waterbird Census (South America).
