19 Feb 2022
During the weekend of 19 February all
people from across Nepal are invited to watch and count birds for half an hour
at home or in their neighbourhood, using the Chhimeki Chara app. The resulting
lists and maps will be shared with the public on BCN’s website. The main
objective of this first Neighbourhood Bird Count and future ones, is to
increase the number of people with knowledge and awareness about birds, and
bird - and nature conservation, ultimately providing many people an enjoyable
pastime and increasing the support basis for nature conservation and the
participating partners among the public. Follow up activities can be advice on
how to protect and attract birds in the human environment, linkage of the
public to local and national bird watching and conservation organisations, and bird
studies using apps and national networks of bird enthusiasts.
We Believe:
1. More birders and more bird counts
are good for people, for science and for conservation,
2. The best place for beginners to start
watching of and learning about birds is in their own neighborhood, and
3. The half-hour events simultaneously conducted across the country make the counts feasible and exciting for more people.
