Directory of Ornithologists

This directory features independent and established researchers on birds. It is not a comprehensive list of everyone studying birds in India, but focuses on those who head labs or groups that mentor and train young people by accepting volunteers, interns, Masters students, PhD students, and more.

If you are seeking training opportunities, you can use the filter option to find faculty whose area, type of study, and subject match your interests.

If you are an ornithologist leading such a group and would like to be included, please write to [email protected]
