BirdLife South Africa will help transition the Mozambique Bird Club, currently a voluntary membership association of hobbyists, into a more active and capable organization. At the same time, BirdLife will develop birding routes designed to encourage South African tourists to visit southern Mozambique with the goal that the new incarnation of the Mozambique Birding Club eventually assumes responsibility for leading birding tourists, community engagement, and site-based conservation of bird habitat.

Strategic Direction: 4 Create an enabling environment to improve conservation and management of Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany priority sites
