Species distribution
The Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP1) in Namibia gathered a huge amount of distribution data between 1970 and 1993.
Museum specimens indicate historical distributions. The map below shows locations from which museum specimens of Pink-backed%20Pelican were collected. You can see more information on the individual Museum Specimens of Pink-backed%20Pelican here.
We welcome the submission of historical records. Over time, these will give valuable information on population distribution, habitat requirements, trends and so on.
If you have a lot of records and it would be very time-consuming to enter them manually you can also send us a spreadsheet with the details, and associated photos. Use the contact us form to get in touch.
