Re BirdLife Atlas

[Philip Veerman <>]

Hello Renee,

 

Sorry, I think you got your words mixed up. I did not suggest that BirdLife publish a new Atlas. I think you should credit Mark with the suggestion. I just suggested it “is or would be, a huge task”. By that I meant it is something that would warrant a lot of proper thought as to financial and logistic priorities and it is not my role go beyond that comment.

Hi,

 

 Re Philip's and Alison's suggestions for BirdLife to publish a new Atlas ... they did the Action Plan for Aust Birds 2020 (published 2021), based on Birdata.

https://www.publish.csiro.au/book/7905/

Here's a summary

It would be great if COG members contribute the superb systematic data collected to Birdata, which can be analysed for conservation. There is so little in there from the ACT and your observations would enrich and fill gaps in the knowledge so much!

 

It is also incredibly easy to use Birdata, to extract your own data, and to explore by species, location, date range, season, survey type and more.

(I think there's a data sharing agreement with ebird, maybe with COG?, but it might be ages until data comes across.)

 

Cheers

Renée
