Over two decades have elapsed since Sasol first started sponsoring the production of natural history publications.

Southern Africa boasts a magnificent biodiversity, with a rich and varied birdlife that plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. It has long been recognised that birds contribute to the ecosystems in which they live. As birds are a common sight in our daily lives, it is sometimes easy to forget the important role they play in maintaining and restoring the balance of natural ecosystems; they are also reliable ‘feathered barometers’ of the state of our biodiversity. So important is their place in our world, that we would not be able to cherish spring without their abundance of colours and sounds, or admire the flocks that undertake seasonal migrations.

Sasol has been sponsoring a number of environmental publications – with a particular focus on birds and bird-related activities – for many years as part of our commitment to the conservation of our region’s natural heritage for both present and future generations. Our support for environmental publications and projects is aimed at promoting an appreciation of our heritage.

This fifth edition of Sasol Birds of Southern Africa helps us achieve this; it builds on the success of its previous editions and is certain to remain the region’s most comprehensively illustrated and trusted field guide.

Through partnerships with publishers and birding experts, Sasol is proud of the difference our support has made in promoting environmental education and conservation, leading in turn to a new appreciation for nature, and a better understanding of the need to protect this beautiful heritage.

Our sincere thanks go to the authors Ian Sinclair, Phil Hockey, Warwick Tarboton, Peter Ryan, Niall Perrins and Dominic Rollinson, some of southern Africa’s most respected and celebrated birders, who worked on the book, as well as to the team at Penguin Random House.
