Kenya's Important Bird Areas: Status and Trends 2012-13

Nature Kenya, in partnership with the National Museums of Kenya (NMK), Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Kenya Forest Service (KFS), National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and other stakeholders, has been implementing a national Important Bird Areas (IBAs) programme
in Kenya since 1995. This programme involves identification, profiling and monitoring of IBAs. So far sixty-two sites have been identified and described as IBAs and efforts are still being made to identify more. This report is a summary of the status, pressure and response results as analyzed from standardized IBAs monitoring forms submitted by stakeholders
who work at the various sites. Standardized basic monitoring forms are distributed to site managers and other trained professionals and volunteers who are conversant with the IBA sites.
