The State of Australia's Birds (SOAB) is an annual report produced by Birds Australia since 2003 in the form of an illustrated colour magazine supplement.
Overview
The reports, which are published as supplements to Wingspan magazine, collate and analyse information on trends in the conservation status of bird populations in Australia. The 2003 and 2008 editions of SOAB are five-yearly overviews, while the other editions are themed on various aspects of Australian avifauna (for example, SOAB 2010 was themed on Birds and Islands). Some of the material presented in SOAB is extracted from Birds Australia projects, notably the Atlas of Australian Birds project.
All issues are available for free download. An issue themed on birds in the Murray-Darling basin is planned for late 2011.
