Many of them are heavenly islands, alas, with 100 or less bird species. I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? Turkey (390 / 459).
