About
At the 12th PAOC in September 2008 at Goudini Spa, Cape Town, raptor biologists and enthusiasts from the African continent resolved to form an African Raptor Network (ARN) with the principal aim of exchanging information about raptor biology and conservation issues across the continent and the western Indian Ocean islands.
The specific objectives of the ARN will be to:
1) Develop and maintain a website on which current news about African raptor research and conservation will be posted (Munir Virani, The Peregrine Fund and NMK).
2) Develop and maintain (by invitation) an internet discussion list server called African Raptors (Neil Baker)
3) Publish via email two newsletters that highlight and report on raptor projects in Africa, recent published literature pertaining to African raptor biology, and interesting anecdotes that showcase the plight of African raptors (Pete Hancock)
4) Agree upon and adopt an African Red Data Raptor List developed by Mwangi et al. This will then be evaluated and updated every four years (or earlier) based on available findings.
5) Encourage and promote raptor biology graduate studies and publications (both popular and scientific) particularly within the Afro-tropical region.

Hi, I am the project leader for the Black Eagles in the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens in Roodepoort, South Africa. One of only 4 projects in SA where the Black Eagles are being monitored and we also have a webcam that will go live once the breeding season starts next year. Please feel free to contact me.
I am wing tagging European Marsh Harriers with a green tag on each wing with a 2 letter/numeric code in either white e-maior black. Have a report of one in Senegal. Any sightings please e-mail.
Hello,
I work for Raptor Research & Conservation Foundation, Mumbai, INDIA. It will be nice to get periodic updates and reports on the Amur Falcons which migrate through India on route to South Africa. Cheers!
Hello,
I am part of a team at UCT, South Africa looking at the reliability of Google images to map species distribution.
Could you please inform me who took the Black Sparrowhawk images on this website?
Thanks!
