Murray,
That is a rather short-sighted approach to be taken by them, because
_all_ information gathered about birds or any other organism, is
potentially of value for conservation purposes, if not now, possibly in
the future. Many a penny has dropped through re-assessment of past data.

the attitude that comes through from major bird groups that projects have to
have a conservation value to be worthwhile. The idea of knowledge about birds
for knowledge's sake gets ignored and that doesn't do much to encourage people
to publish their observations. Though I accept the need to qualify for
government funding makes the conservation centred approach necessary.
Here ends the rant about the rant.
