OrientalBirding
"'OrientalBirding"' is an email discussion group managed in association with "'Oriental Bird Club"'.
"'OrientalBirding"' is an online forum for news and discussion about wild birds, birding and conservation in the Oriental region. "'OrientalBirding"' was launched in July 1999 and has become a community of over 1800 subscribers from all over the world including many active birders living in the oriental region.==How OBC helps to conserve Oriental birds== Over 300 Oriental bird species are designated by BirdLife International as threatened due to forest destruction, wetland drainage, hunting and trade. Conservation of these species is often hampered by a lack of knowledge. Oriental Bird Club supports conservation work in the Oriental region by encouraging studies of birds and their habitats. Through the generous support of members and corporate sponsors, the OBC conservation fund has now supported over 250 projects in many oriental countries, primarily run by local people. More than £200,000 has been invested in conservation in the region since 1984.
