National Migratory Birds Center investigates the distribution of migratory birds and conducts research on the ecology of bird migration. Information on migratory birds collected through the survey is being integrated and managed through the system, and it contributes to raising awareness of birds by providing public services. We also support national policies for birds conservation and management and we are promoting joint research and cooperation for migratory birds between countries.
