Search for Sites

Through this search you can query the regional Important Bird Area inventories for Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Tropical Andes, Caribbean, South America (in process), Central America (in process), Oceania (in process) and Central Asia (in process). The directories are incomplete for parts of the world (notably North America, Australasia and Antarctica), and will be updated as they are completed.

You can find a particular site or set of sites by specifying a combination of region, country/territory and international name. For example, to find all sites beginning with the letter “A”, simply enter A into the International name box and click on the search button. Alternatively, to search for all sites in a particular country/territory, ensure the international name is blank and then select a region followed by a country/territory and then click the search button. From either the search results or an individual factsheet you can see the location of IBAs on an interactive map, allowing you to pan, zoom and switch between a traditional map and satellite imagery.
