Birdwatching

During the last 10 years QMM and Birdlife International have organised birdwatching events to increase awareness on biodiversity loss in Madagascar.

This year's birdwatching event will be celebrated in November 2010 and an additional event will be organised especially for migratory birds.
There will be a birdwatching event at Ehoala beach, a film projection at school and a presentation for QMM employees.

As we did last year, letters of invitation will be sent to schools for students to come and register for a birdwatching tour and an educational activity on migratory birds.

They will be educated on the importance of birds and migratory birds in particular. Additionally, as this year's theme promotes, they will be taught about the need to save those who are Globally Threatened.

This year's event starts with a morning bird walk at the sanctuary wetland with members of the Nguuni Young Birder's Club & members of the public followed by a talk by Kelvin Mazera, the Resident Bird Guide and club patron at the centre's auditorium.

Day 2 begins with an afternoon film (David Attenborough's series on Migration at the centre's auditorium).

This year's event involves birdwatching activities in order to "save migratory birds in crisis - every species counts!"
