Birdwatch Zambia

BirdWatch Zambia (BWZ)is an environmental non-governmental organization dedicated to the study and conservation of birds and their habitats across Zambia. It serves as the official national partner of BirdLife International, plugging Zambia’s local ornithological efforts into a massive global scientific network.

If you are passionate about local ecology, biodiversity tracking, or simply spending a quiet morning with binoculars in hand, consider joining to be part of their activities.

Like its sister environmental groups, BirdWatch Zambia is a membership-driven community that makes birding incredibly accessible to the public:

Monthly Bird Walks:For central residents, the club hosts regular, informal weekend bird walks. These are highly social, welcoming events where experienced birders guide novices through local green spaces, suburban thickets, and nearby botanical reserves to practice identification by sight and sound.

Publications: Members receive a monthly newsletter tracking rare sightings across the country, updates on conservation expeditions, and access to an extensive archive of Zambian ornithological research.

Whether you want to learn to tell a sunbird from a honeyguide on a weekend stroll or support high-stakes habitat protection, plugging into BWZ connects you to a deeply knowledgeable, passionate network of local conservationists.
