Do you know.

You can contribute to;

• the BIRP (Birds in Reserves Project) run by the ADU (Animal Demographic Unit) based at the University of Cape Town.
• By doing so you as a "citizen scientist" are helping to establish local and national species information and contribute to bird conservation.
• The process is fairly simple; volunteers go out to any PA (protected area - Greater Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve) and simply make a list of all the bird species observed. Data can be collected up to a maximum of seven days. 

Please start at Zandvlei and record all the birds you see and submit them via the data gathering process. For more information go the the BIRP website, as above. Please download the BIRP instruction booklet which contains all the relevant information pertaining to this project.

The project is supported and endorsed by both the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) as well as BirdLife South Africa (BLSA).

Doug Harebottle is the Project Manager.   tel (w) 021 650 2330.
