AviList: A Unified Global Checklist of the World’s Birds is Now Available

AviList: A Unified Global Checklist of the World’s Birds is Now AvailableAviList: A Unified Global Checklist of the World’s Birds is Now AvailableA new unified global bird checklist, AviList, the most authoritative and up-to-date taxonomy of the world’s birds, was released on 11 June by a global team of experts in taxonomy, nomenclature, and bioinformatics. This collaboration includes researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the American Ornithological Society, BirdLife International, the International Ornithologists’ Union, and other leading institutions.

The new list recognizes 11,131 bird species across 252 families, offering a single, harmonized reference point for ornithologists, conservationists, and birders around the world. “In trying to protect birds at a global scale, it is important to ensure that everyone is talking the same language and the data match,” says Marshall Iliff, an AviList team member and eBird project leader at the Cornell Lab.
