What |
GBBC India is the Indian implementation of the global Great Backyard Bird Count, which runs for 4 days every February. Indian birders have participated in the GBBC since the event went worldwide in 2013. The 2024 edition of GBBC engaged over 5,300 birders, who uploaded over 58,000 checklists and recorded 1,036 species! |

Why |
Most importantly, it’s fun! But there is a serious aspect as well. These annual snapshots of bird populations help answer a variety of important questions, including how birds are distributed across the country, how they are affected by changes in habitat and weather, and whether populations and distributions might be changing from year to year. In addition, you can use the opportunity of this event to get others involved in birding, to reach out to the general public, or even to run a local or regional project!
If you live or work on campus, then you may be interested in the Campus Bird Count that runs alongside. |
When |
14–17 February 2025 |
How |
Go birding for at least 15 min, listing and counting all the species you see. It doesn’t matter if you can’t identify every single species—what you can identify is good enough! Download eBird Mobile App and upload your species list. Those who are new to eBird can see the webinar recording here. |
| Who | GBBC India is coordinated by the Bird Count India collective, a coming-together of a number of groups and organisations that are interested in birds, nature, and conservation. Do join us! |
