The African Bird Club is a UK registered charity which is managed on a voluntary basis by a Council of trustees. The Club was formed in 1992 following a proposal by a number of people with a common interest in African ornithology. About a quarter of the world's bird species, more than 2500, have been recorded in this region, with 332 included on BirdLife International's Red Data species list for 2005, the most recent summary of the world's threatened and near-threatened species.
