Melanesia IOC

The IOC Melanesia list uses a subset of species from the complete world taxonomy maintained by the IOC and which is updated regularly at www.worldbirdnames.org.

The geographical limits of this list include the countries of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, as well as Papua in Indonesia (and therefore, together with Papua New Guinea, the entire island of New Guinea) and the French administered territory of New Caledonia.
