Asian Waterbird Census 2013 |
|---|
|
Every January, thousands of volunteers across Asia and Australia visit wetlands in their country and count waterbirds. This event is called the Asian Waterbird Census(AWC), which is part of global waterbird monitoring programme, the international Waterbird Census (IWC), coordinated by Wetlands International. This Activity takes place during the second and third week of January every year.
In Indonesia, AWC will be coordinated by Wetlands International-Indonesia Programme and Ministry of Forestry, Indonesia. Jakarta become one of the place to take AWC. There are Muara Angke wildlife sanctuary, Angke-Kapuk Protected Forest and Arboretum. The activity will start on Saturday, 26th January 2013, 6.00 a.m in Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary.
Finally, from this AWC, it can contributes to identification and monitoring of wetlands of international and national importance. It also helped increase local awareness and participation in the concervation of waterbirds and their wetland habitats.
If you would like to join the thousands of volunteers contributing to the AWC, you can contact the national Coordinator of your country. You can find the information in the website : www.wetlands.org |

Ehm..great essay. We know that Angke kapuk society carry out the program of mangrove forest rehabilitation for conserving the undangered bird. However, the degradated forests in Indonesia are fast, so what will we do?

It's great to have these events! I heard that South Korea is working on protecting wetlands and organisms living there!

it's very surprising that we have such kind of bodies. Is Wetlands International-Indonesia Programme owned by the govt?
