Bird-o-thon(GBBC)



  • The annual Great Backyard Bird Count(GBBC)  was  recording 251 bird species across Karnataka.

  • The first GBBC was launched in the US in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society to create real-time data on wild birds.

  • The importance of the event is that it helps the Scientists better understand the global bird population before one of their annual migrations.

  • Birders will conduct walks, online talks, and other awareness activities for the general public.
