THen it would be BOCCCA - or BOCCA to include just "climate" and get
a word that looks like a real one ... only trouble is that there is
already a website by that name. It's Italian and my school should
definitely be filtering it!! (We will be now)
But seriously for a moment - I think BOCA (whatever that stands for)
should be applauded for managing to achieve a name change that won't
require the huge expense of updating stationery and signage.

It equates to changing Stone Curlews to Thicknees. Couldn't they
put climate change in there too?

At the AGM of BOCA (Bird Observers Club of Australia) in May the
membership
voted to change the name of the organisation to Bird Observation &
Conservation Australia and the necessary formalities have now been
completed
to enable this change.
The new name of course retains our familiar acronym of BOCA and
was put in
place to better reflect BOCA's dual purposes – that of a member based
organisation encouraging and facilitating bird watching and that
of an
active environmental organisation with special interest in birds
and their
habitat.
BOCA will continue to run extensive activities for its members,
but we will
be using the new name to change the way we present ourselves to
the wider
community and to seek their support for our conservation and
education work.
