A leading Egyptian environmental consultant, zoologist, and naturalist, Dr. Sherif Baha El Din has dedicated his life to studying and protecting Egypt’s wildlife, particularly birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
Born in Ras Gharib, his fascination with wildlife began at an early age and developed into a distinguished career in conservation and research. He holds a PhD in Ecology from the University of Nottingham and a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Virginia Tech.
As president of the Egyptian Society for Nature Conservation (ESNC), Dr. Sherif has played an important role in protecting Egypt’s natural heritage and raising awareness of migratory birds.
His scientific contributions include A Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of Egypt, the Directory of Important Bird Areas in Egypt, and contributions to Common Birds of Egypt and The Birds of Egypt. He has also contributed to documenting several reptile and amphibian species, with the lizard Mesalina bahaeldini named in his honor.
Now, he brings his extensive knowledge and field experience to our birdwatching journey, offering a deeper perspective on Egypt’s remarkable birdlife and the ecosystems that sustain it.
