Shorebird Conservation Toolkit
WWF
Australia has recently launched a national Shorebird Conservation
Toolkit to help protect and enhance shorebird habitat across
Australia. The toolkit builds on the success of the national Shorebird
Conservation Project (2001-2005), drawing from 31 on-ground and
community-driven shorebird conservation projects.The toolkit is a
comprehensive resource that will enable users to: understand and
appreciate shorebirds, their habitat and conservation needs; locate
important shorebird sites in Australia and access population estimates;
develop site survey and monitoring programs; identify and assess site
management needs, and implement/evaluate management actions; and
identify and advocate international and national conservation options
The toolkit is available online at www.shorebirds.org.au or by
contacting Bianca Priest, 03 6225 1394 or bpriest@wwf.org.au.
