Birds of Chad

Chad is a large landlocked Central African state, most of which is taken up by the Chad Basin. In the east of the country, mountains reach a height of 3415 m, making it the highest peak in the Sahara. The climatic distinction is mainly between the deserts of the Sahara, the Sahel zone and the savanna zone; in the extreme south there are also dry forests. Six wetlands have been declared internationally important under the Ramsar Convention. Four national parks have been established and a number of other areas have been placed under nature protection. A species-rich avifauna has emerged in the different regions of the country. However, there are no endemic species; both the Chad Firefinch (Reichenowamarant) as well as the River Prinia (Tschadprinie) occur in neighboring countries, too. Nevertheless, the Chad offers a fascinating bird life, which, moreover, has not yet been fully researched. In any case, a visit to Chad, which is dominated by severe poverty, has an expedition character for bird watchers.
