Birds of Mali

Mali is the eighth largest country in Africa and is a landlocked country in the west of the continent. The landscape is dominated by plains. The highest mountain in Mali is the Hombori Tondo at 1153 m. The climate ranges from the arid Sahara desert in the north to the tropical wet and dry savannah in the south. The north is sparsely populated. The Niger is the most important river in Mali, it flows through the southern part of Mali over a length of about 1700 km. Swamps and wetlands with a rich bird life form on both sides of the Niger. Nevertheless, the country's flora and fauna have been greatly reduced by human intervention. Four national parks have been established in Mali, they are all located in the extreme south-west of the country. The Boucle du Baoulé National Park is a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status and is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. BirdLife International has not only registered 17 IBAs (Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas), but also the Upper Niger Valley as an EBA (Endemic Bird Area). The Mali Firefinch occurs there - although not exclusively. Unfortunately, global warming is causing the Sahara to slowly but steadily spread further and further south in Mali as well.
