Swedish Ornithological Society

Swedish Ornithological Society (Sveriges ornitologiska förening, SOF) is a Swedish ornithological society founded in 1945 and a BirdLife partner. It currently has 11,000 members, 24 regional branches, and a staff of 24.

The main three goals of the organization are:

  • bird conservation;
  • to carry out investigation and documentation;
  • to promote interest in birds and birdwatching.

    • SOF develop an electronic, internet-based bird reporting system called Artportalen, used by thousands of Swedish bird watchers to report sightings.

    The organization also publishes three magazines: Vår Fågelvärld, Ornis Svecica and Fågelvännen.
