This is an Online Guide for Birdwatching in Espírito Santo. With this guide we aim to promote birding and environmental awareness. On this website we present some places, that from our personal experience and the experience of our partners, are good for birdwatching and the contemplation of nature in the state Espírito Santo, which has great potential for ecotourism.
This is a collaborative project in development, therefore, suggestions, additional information and photos are welcome!

RECOMMENDED PLACES FOR BIRDWATCHING
Espírito Santo is a great destination for birdwatchers from all around the world, because of its wide variety of interesting and rare species. Originally covered by 100% of Atlantic Forest, deforestation and degradation led to a change of the environment, with only 11% of protected areas remaining. However, current research shows that despite the drastic reduction of forest areas, Espírito Santo is habitat of over 650 bird species, which corresponds to almost 36% of Brazil's avifauna.
