AviList is the first unified global checklist of bird species, launched to harmonize bird taxonomy for global conservation, biodiversity monitoring, and research efforts. Developed by the Working Group on Avian Checklists under the International Ornithologists’ Union, AviList represents the culmination of four years of collaborative research, analysis, and expert consensus. Its goal is to provide a single authoritative reference for bird species worldwide, ensuring consistent classification and data use across international platforms. This initiative marks a significant advancement in ornithology and global biodiversity management by streamlining how species are recognized and reported globally.
