Description
The Kuwait Bird Project, also known as BoK, is funded by the Kuwait Foreign Oil Exploration Company (KUFPEC) to raise awareness of Kuwait's extraordinary biodiversity and the need to conserve it. The first phase of the project began in December 2011 when sponsor Biodiversity East provided a project to develop a comprehensive visual guide with photos of all the birds in Kuwait. An experienced international team - founding members of Biodiversity East and Mike Pope, Chair of the Kuwait Ornithological Scarcity Committee (KORC) - have worked very hard to gather all the latest knowledge about birds and put together high quality photos of each species.
