Conservation

BOCA has a long and proud record in conservation, both at the local and national level, and gives practical encouragement to concerned birdwatchers to initiate programs to benefit birdlife and natural habitat. BOCA employs a Conservation Coordinator and an Assistant and provides seeding grants for small scale habitat protection and endangered species research, through our own Australian Bird Environment Foundation (ABEF).

BOCA's Conservation Objectives are:

• to encourage the scientific study and research of Australian birds and their habitats, so as to facilitate their conservation and well-being.
• to monitor and investigate threats to the survival of Australian birds and to take action to maintain, protect or enhance their survival, habitat and associated flora and fauna.

The following articles from "The Bird Observer" reflect some of the work of our Conservation Department:
