In early November BirdLife Australia, leaders for chook conversation in Australia, revealed the preliminary results for the Aussie Bird Count.
With more than 420,000 counted, the colorful Rainbow Lorikeet as soon as again comes out on prime, beating the Noisy Miner with practically 220,000 and the enduring Australian Magpie with round 154,000 counted.
In whole, over eighty,000 Aussies counted greater than three.6 million birds through the week submitting over one hundred,000 checklists and observing 658 chook species.
“ A Decade Of Rainbows—Rainbow Lorikeet Tops The 10th Annual Aussie Bird Count with which Australians have taken to the Aussie Bird Count has been outstanding,” mentioned BirdLife Australia’s National Public Affairs Manager, Sean Dooley.
Over the previous 10 years, the Aussie Bird Count has helped raise the profile of Australia’s fowl life and encouraged 1000's of individuals across the nation to connect with nature.
“In addition to being good for our psychological well being, bird watching is often step one towards nature conservation. We can’t protect something if we don’t know the way it's faring in the first place.”
With nearly 1 in 6 bird species in Australia susceptible to extinction from threats such as local weather change, habitat loss, fires, and invasive species,
BirdLife Australia relies on knowledge to inform priorities and insights from monitoring projects such as the count to help form our broader Bird Conservation Strategy, aiming to halt chook extinctions by 2032 and general bird declines by 2050.
The outcomes might be carefully vetted by BirdLife Australia’s avian consultants with a comprehensive information release for the Aussie Bird Count scheduled for December this year.
