"'Big Year' is a famous concept especially in North America where birding is a craze among the people. This has lead to birds of their country being very well documented with very good information for making conservation plans," GBCN President Parag Rangnekar told PTI.
"Drawing inspirations from the same, GBCN has declared the 'Goa Big Year 2017', which is the first of its kind to be held in the country (India)," he added.
"'Goa Big Year 2017' will see birders from within the state and outside, observe, record and report birds (the maximum number of species) till December 31," Rangnekar added.
