Great Backyard Bird Count 2017

Acknowledgements

India fared much better in this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count than in previous years. This has much to do with the contributions and support from various people and groups from across the country.

Many thanks must be given to all the state coordinators for GBBC 2017. They ensure that the various events in their regions are carried out in a smooth manner and participants are helped out whenever possible.

Several people single-handedly took the initiative in their region and worked with other birders, groups, institutions and more to carry out counts, bird walks, hold events, etc. We would also like to acknowledge the work of those who successfully organized counts on campuses across India for the Campus Bird Count 2017.

Many thanks to:
