BirdLife International in Indochina publishes a range of technical reports and field guides, and other occasional publications. These are published in English and local languages. Most publications exist in hard copy format and in web-based and CD-Rom format. Our first technical report, entitled The Status and Distribution of Green Peafowl Pavo muticus in Dak Lak Province, Vietnam remains today the only quantitative study of a Globally Threatened Species in Vietnam.

 
The bulk of our technical publications have been management plans or management feasibility studies for the establishment of new protected areas in Vietnam. In 1997 we published a strategy document for the wise-use of wetlands in the Mekong Delta. In 1999 we published the first review of the protected areas system in Vietnam and in 2001 we published the first edition of the Sourcebook of Existing and Proposed Protected areas in Vietnam. A second edition of this work was published in 2004 [link to the Sourcebook]. Between 2002-2003 we published IBA directories for Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam [link to IBA Directory for Vietnam]

In 2000 we published the first modern local-language bird field guide to Vietnam. Entitled Chim Viet Nam it covers about 300 species, or one third of the avifauna. This was followed in 2003 by Birds of Myanmar, again a local language field guide introducing a selection of common birds. At the end of 2003 we published the first fully comprehensive field guide to the birds of Laos. Our occasional publications have included a comprehensive guide to the Slipper Orchids of Vietnam and an illustrated checklist to the butterflies of Vietnam.
