[edit] Endemic Bird Areas

Birdlife International has defined the following Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) in the subcontinent:

Each area has its own set of endemic species, and there are further species shared between the two which are not found elsewhere.

In addition the following are classified as Secondary areas (areas with at least one restricted-range bird species, but not meeting the criteria to qualify as EBAs)

[edit] List of species

The following is a list of non-passerines (passerines to follow).

[edit] Species endemic to the Western Ghats

[edit] Species endemic to Sri Lanka
