Where there is water, there are birds. Time for the annual Asian Waterbird Census!

The AWC happens every January, when people count waterbirds, or birds “ecologically dependent on wetlands” (Wetlands Int. 2018). Wetlands include coasts, mangrove areas, rivers, lakes, marshes and other similar areas.

Recommended dates for counting are January 4 to 19. The following organizations are known to join the AWC by holding waterbird counts in certain areas in the Philippines. Contact them to see how you can help!

Wetlands International, Philippines

Wild Bird Club of the Philippines

Haribon Foundation

Department of Environment and Natural Resources

Guides and more information can be found at the South Asia Wetlands International website at: https://south-asia.wetlands.org/news/join-us-for-the-asian-waterbird-census-2025/
