Dear all,
The DRAFT program for the 4th Biennial Australasian Ornithological
Conference 2007 to be held at Perth, Western Australia from 2 to 5
December has been released. The conference home page is at:
http://birdswa.iinet.net.au/aoc2007/index.htm.
As a follow-up to the successful ethnoornithology session at AOC 2005 in
New Zealand we have been able to grab one of eleven Symposia and we have
six slots for presenters. I have tried to get funding to bring Ian Saem
Majnep (co-author with Ralph Bulmer of the wonderful "Birds of My Kalam
Country") from PNG but to date have been unable to raise funds for that.
So far we have has strong expressions of interest from countries to
Australia's north, with Jeanine Pfeiffer, William Thomas and Eunice Dus
expressing interest from Indonesia and PNG respectively.
If you are interested in the ethnoorn session or the AOC generally you
will need to register etc and submit an abstract etc before the closing
date of 31 August 2007.
If you are interested in getting even more value from your trip to the
far west the The Ecological Society of Australia will hold their annual
conference at Perth from the 26th to the 30th November 2007 - see:
www.ecolsoc.org.au. At the moment I'm looking to participate in Rosemary
Hill's symposium on /Indigenous adaptive management of country:
integrating Indigenous peoples’ knowledge and practices for
sustainability/.
Thanks to you all and looking forward to seeing you in Perth in
December. Please don't hesitate to contact me by return email to
Birding-Aus or to the ERSG website if you want to discuss anything.
Best,
Bob Gosford
