Southern African Bird Atlas Project

The Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP) was conducted between 1987 and 1991.[1] Because a new bird atlas was started in southern Africa in 2007, the earlier project is now referred to as SABAP1. The new atlas project is known as the Second Southern African Bird Atlas Project, and is abbreviated to SABAP2. The project is ongoing, and is now managed by the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town. Most of the data capture happens through the application BirdLasser.[2] The project is currently funded by BirdLife South Africa and the South African National Biodiversity Institute.
