Overview
The GBBC was first launched in 1998 in the US. It is conducted around the second week of February.[4] Since 2013, the event has been observed by international bird watchers, and anyone can now participate in the event.[1] Additional wildlife and conservation institutes around the world have also supported and participated.[5][6][7] A number of separate bird watch efforts have been coordinated so as to coincide with the GBBC.[8] In 2015 nearly half of known bird species worldwide were reported.[9]
Data collected during the event is subjected to verification by experts, in order to overcome potential shortcomings in the abilities of amateur participants.[10] Data resulting from the event has raised awareness about changes in the population and habitats of common birds.[11]
