国际上已把保护鸟类作为衡量一个国家科学文化水平和社会文明状况的标志之一 .该文介绍了国内外设立国鸟、省鸟的概况 ,并就国鸟、省鸟的评选意义、标准和程序 ,以及海南省鸟的设立等进行了探讨 .

Bird conservation is a issue of global concern. To protect bird diversity, many countries have had their national birds. In China, national bird has not been confirmed. However, more than 17 provinces have had their provincial birds or city birds. As a flagship species, national bird or provincial bird may play a key role in public awareness of bird conservation, and we suggest that Hainan hill partridge Arborophila ardens be the best bird species as Hainan provincial bird.
