Partners

Bird Count India (BCI) is an informal collective of national and regional partners who are interested in bird monitoring in India. The partnership consists of a large number of organizations and groups, all of whom share BCI’s common goals. Partners, by definition, is either a formal organization, governmental or non-governmental, or even an informal group like a social media group. Hence, the BCI collective does not directly include individuals. Partners support the goals of Bird Count India in a variety of ways but by mostly encouraging their members/subscribers to take part in events and projects that lead to a better understanding of bird distribution and abundance. Some partners run their own events and projects, with support from the collective.
