The Asian Bird Fair 2024 will be held at Las Pinas in the Philippines, as officially announced during the handover dinner in October 2023. Sabah was the main host for ABF2023.
The ABF2024 will also be held from 21-22 November at The Tent, Las Pinas City, in Metro Manila, the Philippines. It will be convenient for anyone flying in to attend the bird fair here. The ABF dates were changed a day earlier, in mid-May 2024. Please take note of the changes.
Asian Bird Fair 2024
Las Piñas is one of the highly urbanised cities in the Philippines with deep respect for the environment. It is located south of Manila and is known nationwide for its bamboo organ, salt beds, and jeepney factories. This place is also distinguished as one of Metro Manila’s fastest-growing communities.
One popular location is the Las Pinas-Paranaque Wetland Park, a 175-hectare protected area south of Manila Bay, home to various species of migratory birds and fish.


The Las Pinas-Paranaque Wetland Park is a protected area in Metro Manila, Philippines, at the Las Piñas and Parañaque coasts. The entire wetland has been declared a Ramsar site under the Ramsar Convention of UNESCO.
According to eBird, there has been a record of 161 bird species in Las Pinas-Paranaque. You can also get additional up-to-date information from the official LPPWP Facebook page.

Las Piñas–Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA)
This area comprises two primary islands: Freedom Island and Long Island. The area is covered with mangroves, ponds and lagoons, mudflats, salt marshes, and mixed beach forests.[13] The entire LPPCHEA covers an area of 181.63 hectares (448.8 acres); about 114 hectares (280 acres) of which are by tidal mudflats, and 30 hectares (74 acres) of which are by its mangrove forest
The LPPCHEA contains a mangrove forest and swamps providing a habitat for many migratory bird species, which devises the East Asian–Australasian Migratory Flyway. At least 41 recorded migratory birds are from as far as China, Japan, and Siberia in the protected area.
The migration season is from August to April, and there could be 5,000 individual birds daily. Among these birds are the Little Egret, Black-Crowned Night Heron, and Common Moorhen. The Philippine duck is an endemic species in the area, and the LPPCHEA is the only known breeding ground for ducks in Metro Manila.

The Asian Bird Fair 2024 will be held from 21 to 22 November at The Tent, Las Pinas City, in Metro Manila, the Philippines. You can also follow the Asian Bird Fair website or ABF Facebook page for any new information. And once the official Asian Bird Fair 2024 Facebook is launched, we will share it here.
Once the date is announced, I recommend that those interested start making travel and accommodation arrangements. If you are one of the invited vendors or speakers, please get in touch with the organising committee for arrangements.
For those planning to attend as a delegate or visitor, you should consider the travel arrangements as soon as possible, as multiple airlines fly into Manila, and then plan your journey to Las Pinas.

Where is the Asian Bird Fair 2024?
The ABF2024 will be held at Las Pinas in the Philippines. This time, it will be one of the largest and best bird fairs as it returns home to one of the organiser’s homelands. You can expect a lively and colourful bird fair too.
The ABF was created in 2010 by three passionate birdwatchers: Michael Lu (Philippines), Victor Yu (Taiwan), and Andrew Sebastian (Malaysia). They are the Executive Committee and founders of the ABF Network.
