Algarve

Conservation project

Sociedade Portuguesa para o Estudo das Aves (SPEA, BirdLife in Portugal) has a network of Important Bird Areas (IBAs) with local volunteers monitoring these and acting as ‘caretakers’. In particular, with our help, SPEA is improving the annual bird monitoring on the protected west coast IBA.

More from SPEA on the protected west coast IBA - and Honeyguide's help - here (in Portuguese).

News coverage from Honeyguide's donation in 2009 in the Algarve Resident here (in English). This is a pdf (which chops off some of the photo) rather than a weblink as to read the story online (here) needs a log in.

A similar story from 2006 is still online in the Algarve newspaper Barlavento here (in Portuguese).
