The Taiwan NYBC is organized by the Chinese Wild Bird Federation (CWBF), the Wild Bird Society of Taipei (WBST), the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society (KWBS) and the Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute (TESRI).The Taiwan New Year Bird Count (NYBC) is a citizen science project which aims to monitor the status and trends of migratory waterbirds in Taiwan proper and its outlying islands. This 7th report represents the results of the Taiwan NYBC 2021, conducted from December 19, 2020 to January 10, 2021.Our survey results provide comprehensive insight into the distribution and community composition of the wintering avifauna of Taiwan. This has importance for conservation goals along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway as it offers an in depth look at the site usage of a number of migratory bird species. The data is also shared with Wetlands International for use in the Asian Waterbird Census.As members of the global community, Taiwan will continue to do its best to monitor, share information on, and conserve the migratory birds along this major flyway.
