To make good on their commitments in Paris, countries around the globe will— more than ever before—be looking to renewable forms of energy as the world pivots toward a decarbonized energy supply. To catalyze this shift, IFC has become one of the largest renewable energy investors in the world. We have supported nearly 7 GW of hydropower, nearly 4 GW of wind power, and nearly 2 GW of solar power in emerging markets. The Government of Jordan considers diversifying its energy sources a priority and was one of the first in the Middle East and North Africa region to initiate fundamental reforms in its power sector. The Government set an ambitious 10 percent target for renewable energy as part of the total energy mix by 2020 with a particular focus on the development of wind (600–1000 MW) and solar (300–600 MW) power plants. New legislation has paved the way for private sector investments making Jordan an attractive market in the region, with a conducive regulatory environment for renewable energy projects, strong government support, and competitive financing opportunities. Jordan sits on the Rift Valley/Red Sea flyway, the second largest flyway for migratory birds in the world, and is home to highly charismatic raptor species that are susceptible to collision with wind turbines. Recognizing the potential impacts that an increasing number of wind power projects may have on the flora and fauna of the Rift Valley/Red Sea flyway, IFC sought to bring together developers, conservation organizations, and government representatives to produce this Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA)—the first of its kind in the Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa region. We conducted this CEA through our Enhanced Client Support Program, which seeks to convene multiple stakeholders to address collective environmental and social challenges that are beyond the ability of any one company to solve alone. We hope this CEA will facilitate more sustainable investments in the wind energy sector in Jordan not only by improved understanding of the highest environmental and social risks but also through aligned mitigation, monitoring, and management measures undertaken by developers and other stakeholders to manage those risks. We also hope that the six-step CEA Framework detailed herein, which considers migratory and resident bird populations, bats, and habitats can be applied more widely to the renewables sector across the Middle East and North Africa region where multiple projects may be sited in close proximity and in landscapes or seascapes with high biodiversity values.

Corresponding author: Abdulaziz S. Alatawi, [email protected] Abstract Conducting species inventories is important to provide baseline information essential for management and conserva- tion. Aldesa Valley lies in the Tabuk Province of northwest Saudi Arabia and because of the presence of permanent water, is thought to contain high avian richness. We conducted an inventory of avian species in Aldesa Valley, using timed area-searches during May 10–August 10 in 2014 and 2015 to detect species occurrence. We detected 6860 birds belonging to 19 species. We also noted high human use of this area including agriculture and recreational activities. Maintaining species diversity is important in areas receiving anthropogenic pressures, and we encourage additional surveys to further identify species occurrence in Aldesa Valley.

  • 'Syrian' Serins Wintering in Northern Iraq Is Solved
    The mystery of the ‘Syrian’ Serins wintering in northern Iraq is solved RF PORTER Somehow the occurrence of Syrian Serins Serinus syriacus in Iraq has become embedded in the literature. Porter & Aspinall (2010) even suggested it might prove to be resident there, which was further articulated in the annotated checklist of the birds of Iraq (Salim et al 2012). Earlier works, eg Hue & Etchecopar (1970), Cramp & Perrins (1994) and del Hoyo et al (2010) cite the species as a winter visitor. The records on which these statements were based were of wintering birds in the Dohuk and Mosul areas of Iraqi Kurdistan in the early 1920s (Ticehurst et al 1926). The latter reported ‘fairly large numbers, feeding on the seeds of reeds’ which was particularly surprising as feeding on reeds is unknown in the Syrian Serin (Khoury 2003, Fares Khoury pers comm) and the observations were over 700 km from the nearest known breeding area of a species with a small restricted range, in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel (Porter & Aspinall 2010) and which is resident with only altitudinal and short-distance migrations (Cramp & Perrins 1994). Ticehurst et al (1926) say in the introduction to their paper: “The contents [of this paper] are founded entirely on the records supplied by Sir Percy Cox and Major RE Cheesman and the collector employed by Sir Percy Cox, La Personne, and on specimens brought back by them”. Ticehurst et al (1926) then go on to say that it was La Personne who made the trips to Dohuk and Mosul. The mystery was solved with the discovery of a previously overlooked short paper by Goodwin (1955) who had examined five skins collected by La Personne present in the British Museum of Natural History (now the NHM, Tring) and found they were not Syrian Serins but European Serins Serinus serinus.

    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

    cycle Jordan actionchallenge in Jordan This sensational cycle challenge takes us back in time to biblical sites, Crusader castles, the Dead Sea and the ancient city of Petra. It’s a fantastic week break in the warmth of an historic and welcoming land. We cycle along isolated sunbaked roads from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea, with the domes of Jerusalem and Bethlehem glinting in the distance. We speed downhill to the lowest point on earth for a float in the Dead Sea, witness the might of the Shoubak Crusader castle and cycle across the Edom plateau through stunning desert scenery, unchanged for thousands of years. Visiting Petra is the highlight of our trip. This 2,000 year old site, carved into the rock face, was once a thriving city at the centre of the ancient silk and spice routes. Our first impression will be built upon the magnificent treasury before we climb the steps of this ancient city, worn down by centuries of use, to Petra’s awe-inspiring Monastery. No trip to Jordan would be complete without a night in the desert spent at a traditional Bedouin camp. We sit together around the campfire, share a BBQ dinner and watch for shooting stars in the desert night sky. We toast the archaeological beauty of Jordan, the shimmering heat of the ride and the new friends we’ve made with a celebratory dinner in Aqaba on the shores of the Red Sea. at a glance trip highlights ● Activity: Cycling - Touring ● Explore the city of Madaba and Mount Debo ● Location: Jordan - Red Sea ● Float in the salty waters of the dead sea ● Duration: 9 days / 6 days cycling ● Cycle through Maai’n mountains ● Difficulty: Moderate ● Witness the grandeur of the Rose City of Petra ● Distance: 327 km ● Enjoy snorkelling in the Red Sea ● Group size: 15 -25 ● Spend a night under the stars in a Bedouin tent ● Visit the 12th century crusader castle of Shoubak Action Challenge have been leading inspirational team adventures across the world for individuals, private groups, charities and corporate clients since 1999.

  • Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

  • Highlights Qinghai Extension
    China Highlights 1st to 15th May 2019 (15 days) Qinghai Extension 15th to 20th May 2019 (6 days) Przevalski’s Finch (Pinktail) by Rich Lindie RBL China – Highlights Itinerary 2 Our China – Highlights & Qinghai Extension tour targets some of Asia’s rarest species, drawing the attention of even those with already impressive Asia and world lists. Seldom visited by western birders, we shall embark on an action packed adventure covering the major sites of south east China, Sichuan and Qinghai. We hit the ground running searching for the Critically Endangered Chinese Crested Tern at the Minjiang Estuary and the very skulky White-necklaced Partridge in Fuzhou itself. We move north east to Emei Feng, to find one of the world’s rarest pheasants, Cabot’s Tragopan, as well as Elliott’s Pheasant and Spotted Elachura, now placed in its own family. Moving further north, we make a stop in Wuyuan for Pied Falconet and the recently discovered Blue-crowned (Courtois’s) Laughingthrush, of which perhaps 200 individuals still exist. We then head to Sichuan Province, showcasing some of China’s finest and most rewarding birding hotspots in the most pristine and remote regions.
