Asian Waterbird Census

The Asian Waterbird Census (AWC) takes place every year. This citizen science event is a part of the global International Waterbird Census (IWC) that supports the conservation and management of wetlands and waterbirds worldwide.

By using eBird and filling out an additional site form, one can participate in this multi-country effort to document the state of our wetlands and waterbirds. To take part, you simply visit a wetland and count the birds you see there. Join the 2025 Asian Waterbird Census (AWC). Count waterbirds at wetlands, upload to eBird, and fill out a site form to help document wetland and waterbird populations. Details here.
