Avifauna Conservation (Birds of Prey, Migratory Flyway Surveys, Bird Census and Ringing)

OverviewImplemented by IUCN Bangladesh in cooperation with the Bangladesh Forest Department, this project (2021–2023) delivered a multi-component programme to strengthen avifauna conservation across Bangladesh. The work combined nationwide surveys and targeted site actions focused on raptors, migratory bird flyway sites, and broader bird monitoring and ringing activities. Across its components, the project supported evidence generation […]

Migration Ecology of Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta (Bangladesh)

This project studied the migration ecology of Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta in Bangladesh (2021–2023). It aimed to identify migratory routes, breeding areas, habitat-use patterns, and key stopover sites, with attention to how these species use the delta during the non-breeding period. Field activities included population monitoring and behavioural observations, alongside tracking

Migration Ecology of Black-tailed Godwits in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta (Bangladesh)

Since 2021, this project has investigated the migration ecology of Black-tailed Godwits in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta in Bangladesh. It focuses on mapping migratory movements, identifying key non-breeding sites and stopovers, and clarifying which subspecies use Bangladesh during the non-breeding season. Field activities include population monitoring, behavioural observations, and satellite tracking to understand site use and

Non-breeding Ecology of Indian Skimmers at Nijhum Dweep National Park (Bangladesh)

Since 2015, this project has studied the non-breeding ecology of the globally endangered Indian Skimmer in Nijhum Dweep National Park and adjacent coastal areas of Bangladesh. Regular monitoring assesses population size, distribution, seasonal patterns, foraging behaviour, and habitat use, helping to document the importance of the site for the species. The project also records major
