Birds of the Tuamotu archipelago

The Tuamotu Archipelago is the largest collection of atolls in the world with 78 atolls, 45 of which are inhabited. Despite the volcanic background, the risk of eruptions is very low. Most of these atolls rise only a few meters above sea level, making them particularly vulnerable to climate change. The climate is warm and does not show any distinct seasons. Numerous seabirds breed on the Tuamotus. In addition, some endemic bird species and subspecies have evolved. However, several of these are already extinct.

Tuamotu archipelago is located in the Pacific Ocean. Legally Tuamotu archipelago belongs to France. Because of the number of bird species with restricted range occurring in this area, BirdLife International assigned it a Primary Endemic Bird Area (EBA-P).
