Birds to Watch in Namibia

Authored by Rob Simmons, Christopher J. Brown, and Jessica Kemper, this softcover edition was published in 2015 by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism in collaboration with the Namibia Nature Foundation. Spanning approximately 320 pages and measuring 21 × 28 cm, this richly illustrated guide focuses on Namibia’s threatened, endemic, and rare bird species. It presents full-color photographs, color distribution maps, and in-depth species profiles—identifying the 71 “Red Data” species (including threatened and near-threatened birds), outlining their threats (such as habitat loss, poisoning, and bycatch), and detailing conservation priorities. A vital and beautifully designed field guide for wildlife enthusiasts, ornithologists, conservationists, and visitors dedicated to the protection of Namibia’s avian diversity.
