Angola boasts a wealth of birdlife, thanks largely to its wide range of habitats. More than 920 species can be found between the parched gravel plains of the Namib in the south and the lush rainforests of the Congo Basin in the north. Most noteworthy are the scarp forests and Afromontane habitats associated with the Western Angola Endemic Bird Area. This area holds 14 range-restricted species, including several Data Deficient, Vulnerable and Endangered species.

Birds Angola is a group of individuals and organisations that aim to support, promote and conduct information gathering, research and conservation of Angolan birds. Our main focus is the scientific publication of information on Angolan birds, at this stage concentrated primarily on descriptive studies, with a strong focus on priority taxa and areas for conservation. We also provide an extensive bibliography of Angolan birds and run a online database of Angolan bird records.
