Oiseaux

Les espèces présentes dans les pays d’Afrique Centrale sont regroupées par famille et renvoient à la Liste rouge de l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature™ (UICN), (en anglais IUCN Red List). Cette liste, créée en 1963, constitue l'inventaire mondial le plus complet de l'état de conservation global des espèces végétales et animales. Les espèces y sont qualifiées par leur niveau de vulnérabilité.
