First census of birds of prey across Guinea-Bissau shows different status for different species
Mohamed Henriques (15/16 class) just published the main results of his thesis in the journal Ostrich. During his thesis he drove >1700 km across the entire Guinea-Bissau and his results are the first for the entire country based on road surveys. A total of 33 species were counted and Mohamed found that Guinea-Bissau is still a stronghold for several birds of prey in West Africa, especially the hooded vulture. However many other species were scarce.
