\ud83e\uddec 1. Key ecological data <\/span><\/h2>\n

\ud83d\udc26 Number of species<\/span><\/h3>\n

According to updated listings (Avibase 2024), Guinea\u2011Bissau hosts:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 510+ recorded bird species<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  • At least 30 migratory shorebird<\/strong> species documented through bird ringing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Threatened resident species such as the African picathartes<\/strong> (Picathartes gymnocephalus).<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \ud83e\udded Routes and distances<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Limosa lapponica <\/i>(bar-tailed godwit): up to 11,000 km<\/strong> non-stop from Alaska to the Pacific during its global migration.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Calidris canutus: <\/i>breeds in Siberia and travels to Guinea-Bissau on a route that can exceed 7,000 km.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \ud83c\udfde\ufe0f 2. Critical habitats for migration <\/span><\/h2>\n

      \ud83c\udfdd Bijag\u00f3s Archipelago<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Declared a Biosphere Reserve<\/strong> in 1996 and a UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> Site in 2025.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • It hosts the largest intertidal area in West Africa<\/strong>, essential for shorebirds such as Numenius phaeopus<\/i> (whimbrel) and Calidris ferruginea<\/i> (curlew sandpiper).<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Studies show that more than 870,000 birds<\/strong> winter in this area annually ([Dodman & S\u00e1, 2005]).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \ud83c\udf00 Cacheu River Mangroves<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Natural Park and Ramsar site since 2015.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Refuge for aquatic birds (herons, ibis) and a passageway for migrants during rainy seasons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \ud83c\udf3f Savannah and rice fields (Bafat\u00e1 and Oio regions)<\/span><\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Crucial for species such as Ciconia ciconia<\/i> (white stork) and Milvus migrans<\/i> (black kite).<\/span><\/li>\n
          • They also host intra-African migrants who follow seasonal patterns within the continent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            <\/span><\/p>\n

            \ud83d\udd2c 3. Research and banding: what we know <\/span><\/h2>\n

            Between 2022 and 2024:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • 1,238 birds were marked <\/strong>in the Bijag\u00f3s with coded rings.<\/span><\/li>\n
            • 338 observations were recorded<\/strong> outside the country, allowing for the establishment of migratory connections with 19 countries.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Main findings:<\/span><\/h3>\n
                \n
              • High fidelity<\/strong> of some species to the Bijag\u00f3s (they return to the same site every year).<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Connectivity with the Wadden Sea<\/strong> (Netherlands and Germany), a \u201cnatural airport\u201d before reaching Africa.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Unexpected winter observations of Limosa lapponica <\/i>and Calidris canutus<\/i> in Mauritania, suggesting secondary intracontinental movements.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u26a0\ufe0f 5. Threats and challenges <\/span><\/h2>\n

                Despite its biodiversity, Guinea-Bissau faces increasing pressures:<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Habitat loss<\/strong> due to agricultural expansion and overfishing.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Climate change:<\/strong> causes alterations in food availability and migratory phenology.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Lack of technical and human resources<\/strong> for continuous monitoring.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  <\/h2>\n

                  \ud83c\udf31 6. Birdwatching tourism with a positive impact <\/span><\/h2>\n

                  Birdwatching tourism is a key tool for conservation<\/strong>, if managed properly. It allows for: <\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Fund research and conservation projects.<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • Integrate local communities in the protection of ecosystems.<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • Raise awareness among visitors about the country’s global importance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    \ud83d\udcc5 7. When to go birdwatching in Guinea-Bissau? <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

                    \ud83d\udd17 8. Conclusion <\/span><\/h2>\n

                    Guinea-Bissau is not just an exotic destination: it’s a pillar of global migratory connectivity. <\/strong>Birds that cross seas, deserts, and continents depend on its ecological integrity. Birdwatching here is not just a natural spectacle: it’s a way to support science, conservation, and local development. <\/span><\/p>\n
