The World’s Rarest Birds photo competition

08/03/2010 22:22:41 March 2010. The new photo competition is now online at www.theworldsrarestbirds.com with plenty of exciting prizes to be won. Photos of 623 species, all presented in a list on the website, are eligible to take part in the competition and many will be used in The World's Rarest Birds which will be published in the first half of 2011. Published photographers do of course receive a free copy of the book. The submitted photographs will play an important role in increasing awareness for these rarest birds of the world.

The World's Rarest Birds has evolved from Rare Birds Yearbook and will be produced by WILDGuides, a not-for-profit publisher and, as with Rare Birds Yearbook, proceeds from sales will be donated to BirdLife International's Preventing Extinctions Programme. The facelift will see the publication becoming a hardback and expanded to cover the 362 species categorised as Endangered as well as the world's 192 Critically Endangered species.
