The Ethno-ornithology World Alliance (EWA) is a network of people dedicated to birds, local knowledge in many languages, and all the connections to place that grow from these relationships. An alliance of researchers, local experts, and conservation practitioners, we work to help birds and diverse knowledge systems flourish.
Welcome
We are individuals, communities, and institutions exploring the interconnections
between people and birds. Where EWA network members are in the world:

2020 EWA logo designer Colin Wilkinson taken by Coronavirus
We were devastated to hear of Colin Wilkinson's recent death from Coronavirus. As well as a good friend and dedicated conservationist, Colin was a talented graphic designer and artist. This is wonderfully demonstrated by the fact that in response to the briefest request from EWA Research Director Andy Gosler, Colin designed the EWA logo in a weekend. This was typical of Colin; hugely generous in giving his time to help others in support of the birds and their conservation.
