About Us
Introduction
 
The Percy FitzPatrick Institute of
African Ornithology (affectionately known as the Fitztitute) is located at the
University of Cape Town,
South Africa, where it is housed within the
Department of Biological Sciences. Situated at the tip of Africa, the
Fitztitute is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the vast untapped
biological resources of the continent. Members of the department are committed
to developing a greater understanding of these, through the training of
scientists and the pursuit of primary research, from evolutionary ecology to
conservation biology. The Institute is also home to the Niven Library,
which holds what is probably Africa's most comprehensive Ornithology
collection and reprints of the Institute's vast publication record.
The Institute was identified as a Centre of Excellence (CoE)
by the Department of Science and Technology
and the National Research Foundation
in 2004.
