鳥類分布調查於世界各地被廣泛利用以收集鳥種分布、密度及繁殖情況等資訊。更新的鳥類分布地圖能與過往的地圖作出比較,得知鳥種的趨勢,甚至於該變化與生境改變的關係,更能識別出具保育價值的鳥種和地點。
Bird Atlas has long been used as an effective tool worldwide to collect information of numbers, species and breeding status of birds. We could also compare the results of new bird atlas to the previous ones to know the gain and loss of species and maybe the relationship to changes in habitats, as well as identify species and areas of particular conservation concern.
It has been long since the last breeding atlas in 1993-96 and winter atlas in 2001-05 in Hong Kong. We think it would be the time to update them!
Hong Kong is divided into more than a thousand 1km2 grids, which is quite a large number so we need a lot of surveyors. Survey months are limited but dates will be flexible. We target to complete both the breeding and winter atlases in three years’ time, from 2016 to 2019, and set up an open access online database to enhance sharing of results with public. We must need help from all of you to ensure the surveys to be completed!
Will you be interested to join the surveys?
