Rare Birds Yearbook covers all 190 Critically Endangered species of the world and is based on scientific facts and produced annually in close cooperation with BirdLife International. Hundreds of amateur and professional photographers from all over the world have contributed fantastic photos.

Apart from featuring the Critically Endangered species in colour, with a distribution map and text on their lives, threats and conservation, Rare Birds Yearbook 2009 contains features on conservation-related topics such as bamboo-dependent bird species, an exciting reader's encounter with a spectacular, Critically Endangered bird of prey, an interview with one of the world's foremost conservationists on tricky conservation issues, a story about successful conservation of Californian Condor and much more.

You can also look up which species there are country for - country and read about BirdLife International's new Preventing Extinctions project and much more.
