Project: My Garden Birds CensusWorking in the Selangor state of Malaysia, the MNS Bird Group (Selangor Branch) will be conducting a long-term project involving enthusiastic birdwatchers and their families to conduct biannual census of the bird life in urban residential areas. The project will take off in Klang Valley where the birdwatchers primarily reside and eventually will be expanded to include other states through MNS’s branch networks in the country.
The objective of conducting this census is to provide an idea of the population health of various kinds of birds, both migrant and resident, that can be found in urban gardens and to gauge the bird species distribution in various residential areas across the Selangor state.
The first census of its kind in Malaysia, this project compliments the vision of Wild Asia to involve more urban folks in safeguarding their natural surroundings and wildlife. As this project involves birdwatchers and their families, it is also encouraging when conservational values are shared with families and passed down to our young ones as well as creating greater awareness among the urban communities.
