New Article: Finch Conservation in Uganda
Hi All,
Please check out: [url]Conserving Finches in Uganda’s Impenetrable Forest http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatbirdb ... le-forest/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is best known as the last stronghold of the Mountain Gorilla. However, this troubled African wildlife paradise is also home to at least 43 finch species, many of which face a future as uncertain as that of the Mountain Gorilla. Read article here:

Interesting, so sad that all those speices are now living all in one area and now being on the brink of extinction. It will be nice to be updated on what the RBCG are doing and how things are going.

Thanks Frank,
Certainly sounds like a future birding hot spot.
Regards, Sam
Query: The article includes an image of a Green Broadbill. Is this the asian species rather than the african species you probably intended?

Very tactfully put Sam!
Yes it is the Green Broadbill from SE Asia; the African species has the blue throat and lacks the black areas, but you probably already know that!
Thanks for the link Frank! I'm sure there are many of us who find this information interesting.
Russell Kingston has been quite involved with this group and has also presented articles in some of the national avicultural magazines.

Thanks for posting the link. The more exposure these projects can get the better.
djb78 if you do want to be updated on the RFCG progress, visit their blog: http://rarefinch.wordpress.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For now the project is looking for funding before they can continue with the research.
