The African Bird Club (ABC) coordinates a network of voluntary representatives in countries in Africa and elsewhere. ABC country representatives act as our eyes and ears on the ground and provide a local point of contact and channel of communication for ABC members in their country. They also play an important role locally in recruiting new members and supporters, promoting ABC, identifying conservation projects that are suitable for funding by ABC, and highlighting conservation issues and threats that ABC can raise awareness of.
We thank them all, past and present, for their work on behalf of ABC.
The current ABC country representatives are –
