National Forum: Glossy Black-Cockatoo Conservation
Putting science into practice
Tuesday 19 November – Wednesday 20 November 2024
A national, virtual forum showcasing the Conservancy’s Conservation Guidelines as well as recent science and their applicability to conservation planning and citizen science initiatives.
About the Forum
This national, virtual forum will bring together community, researchers, planners and decision-makers, government representatives, policy makers and referral bodies to:
- Share knowledge between projects, bring together groups to showcase the work that is being done, showcase recent science. Get to know each other and then identify gaps around knowledge – who has capacity, resources and skills to fill these gaps.
- Improve conservation outcomes by showcasing how we use science to inform planning. Promote Conservation Guidelines as a tool to influence strategic policy changes at the various government levels. Identify gaps in implementation – who has capacity, skills and resources to fill these gaps.
Who is the National Forum for?
- Community groups
- Researchers
- Planners and decision-makers
- Land for Wildlife officers
- Council staff
- Conservancy members
- Birdlife Australia, other bird groups, conservation groups
