December 2013: Jordan’s Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) has published a report on the status of the country’s avifauna. The publication, entitled the State of Jordan’s Birds, provides a detailed assessment of current bird populations, the threats they face, and the conservation actions that are being put in place to safeguard them.
Despite its relatively small size, Jordan has a rich biodiversity that includes over 430 bird species. Situated on a major migration route that connects Europe and Asia with the African continent, passage migrants constitute nearly 80 percent of the country’s avifauna.
