Set of recorded webinars on waterbird monitoring and conservation

Dear All, In cooperation with BirdLife International ECA Team we have collaborated to organise set of four webinars that look into flagship species and waterbird monitoring, threats and conservation along the Eastern part of the African Eurasian Flyway. The objective was to share experience and knowledge among experts from that region, but also ignite more close cooperation and connections for future collaboration work. I hope that some of you might find them useful and interesting to get inspiration for their future work. You can find the records here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZguVZj9F6k&t=2015s
