Meet the Birds Koreans
We are an eclectic collective of individuals, based in Korea as well as internationally, teamed up together with a common goal of conserving the birds and their habitats in the Korean peninsula and the wider Yellow Sea Eco-Region. Just as how birds transcend borders, our team make-up does so also.
Each and every one of us champions our role in this network, and would love to be of a resource to you. Come say hello, send us an email, or let's go birding together!
