We are live at Le Saly Hotel in Senegal for the PRECAP #Flyways Training on Waterbird & #KBA Monitoring Workshop! Conservationists from across Africa are enhancing their skills in monitoring migratory birds and critical habitats. Stay tuned for more updates!

Forests cover a mere 0.56% of South Africa. Yet that's ~7000km² of teeming life that needs looking after. Empowering people to do this is a good place to start. We are so excited to keep growing Cape Parrot forest rangers in 2024! @wildbirdtrust @ParrotTrust

The "parrot people's" annual flock to Hogsback is always a colourful, rowdy time of shared learning - in true Parrot style. This year it was a special pleasure to have @drsteveboyes in our mistbelt. Planning for 2023 wrapped, we are ready for 2024. @wildbirdtrust

We've been busy in 2023 learning how best to monitor our Cape Parrot forests from within, the old-school way...

Who knew ordering passive acoustic monitors could be such a thrill. Here's to building up our #forestmonitoring toolbox! #acousticecology #forestresearch #ecoacoustics

A young Cape Parrot, protected in South Africa, peaks out from the safety of its cavity nest in a large, invasive Eucalyptus tree. An interesting paradox when evaluating habitat quality for an endangered, forest-dependent bird species...

What better time to kick-start a long-term habitat monitoring program for the Cape Parrot - South Africa's bird of the year 2023. @wildbirdtrust
