Avibase-based bird checklist datasets for Shirvan National Park and Gizilaghaj regional proxy areas

This dataset contains author-prepared structured Excel tables derived from publicly accessible Avibase bird checklist information. The dataset was prepared for academic use in a comparative study of wetland bird observation, birdwatching ecotourism potential, and green economy opportunities in Shirvan National Park and Gizilaghaj National Park, Azerbaijan. The dataset includes two structured Excel files. The first file is based on the Avibase checklist for Shirvan National Park. The second file is a regional proxy dataset prepared from Avibase checklists for Lankaran, Masalli, and Neftchala, because a separate Avibase checklist for Gizilaghaj National Park was not available. The Gizilaghaj dataset should not be interpreted as direct park-level occurrence data. It is used only for taxonomic cross-checking, supplementary regional species verification, and comparative support. The original Avibase PDF pages are not redistributed in this dataset. The Excel files contain author-prepared structured tables derived from publicly accessible checklist information for academic analysis and taxonomic verification purposes.
