This slideshow shows the SABAP2 coverage map year-by-year, from when the project started in 2007. This is the most important bird conservation project in the region. Trying to conserve birds without having up-to-date distribution maps is winking in the dark. The slideshow ends with "thank yous" and "pleases". Please do read these carefully.
