The Gulf Of Guinea Conservation Group focuses on conservation issues of São Tomé and Príncipe as well as the two other islands in the chain, Bioko and Annobón. The aim of the website is to provide background information on the natural history of São Tomé and Príncipe, including the status, habitats and some pictures of the more exciting bird species.

The Malimbus website provides free of charge the full text of papers, notes, reports and reviews about the birds of this country that have appeared in the journal prior to the last three years. There are at least ten such articles for most West African countries, and as many as 90 for some. For more recent articles, you can find summaries and abstracts on the site.
