| Summary: | Birdwatchers are, at least stereotypically, known for their tendency to “collect” bird-sights, and order them into neatly organized categories – taxonomic groups. But is it necessarily true? Members of the largest Slovenian birdwatching association provide an opposite example. They started to perceive birds from the nature conservation point of view. At the level of the association, such a shift from collecting to protecting birds was demarcated by the departure of the organisation’s founding “father” who was the central force behind initial “catalogisation” of Slovenian birds in the 1970s and 1980s. A transformation in the association occurred after his departure, and made birdwatchers perceive the natural world in a different way. They still watch birds, but their primary focus has switched to protection of birds as well as other animal and plant species and their habitats. |
