Jordan BirdWatch AssociationCopia el enlace

Jordan BirdWatch’s goal is to protect wild birds and their habitats in Jordan. JBW implements a variety of programs related to science, eco-tourism development, awareness and capacity building, and works with people through partnerships and participatory methods. Jordan's diversity of natural landscapes and bird habitats merits additional appreciation and responsiveness, especially in a region facing multiple environmental and socio-economic challenges. JBW was initiated by people with various backgrounds who recognized the need for promoting and developing bird watching and for effectively protecting wild birds and their habitats. JBW depends on a detailed understanding of the status and ecology of birds, and threats to their populations, and responds to these threats by tackling root causes and implementing long-term programs including education, awareness, capacity building, monitoring and research, and providing advice and assistance. Projects are related to habitat protection and restoration, developing sites for birdwatching, and special studies on species and bird communities, often carried out in partnership with local stakeholders, universities, companies and others.
