French Polynesia consists of five archipelagos (Society Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Marquesas Islands, Austral Islands and Gambier Islands), the most famous of which is Tahiti. The climate is humid tropical. French Polynesia is home to an amazing number of endemic bird species, although several have become extinct since their discovery. One can only hope that the remaining parrots, kingfishers, pigeons and reed warblers will be preserved. Due to the large distances between the islands, it is time-consuming to visit several endemic bird species in a single trip. For many people, French Polynesia is the epitome of South Seas romance. This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of French Polynesia in colored pictures. Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
