BirdLife Top End are working with the community to increase the participation and capacity of local volunteers. These volunteers will help to monitor migratory shorebirds in and around Darwin/Garramilla. The workshop will cover the theoretical scientific knowledge about shorebirds and survey methods. Volunteers will train in monitoring techniques, identification skills, and data collection.

This training will include coordinating with the national shorebird monitoring program run by BirdLife Australia. Contribute to a better understanding of population trends for a group of threatened birds in the Northern Territory.
