Birds of Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is one of the smallest countries in Africa. The country consists of a mainland called 'Mbini', the two main volcanic islands Bioko and Annobón and four other small offshore islands. The capital Malabo and the highest mountain Pico Basilé (3011 m) are on the island of Bioko. There is a rainforest climate with different short dry periods. According to BirdLife International, Equatorial Guinea shares three EBAs (Endemic Bird Areas) with its neighboring countries. There are also five IBAs (Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas). Three national parks (Pico Basilé, Monte Alén, Altos de Nsork) and six nature reserves have been established. The infrastructure is weak, only mobile phones and internet use are common. Social inequality is extreme. An ornithological excursion to Equatorial Guinea therefore has more of the character of a fascinating expedition.
