ABC is partnering with the Birdsong Project on an album of music including tracks by artists inspired by the songs of threatened birds of western Africa. We have helped select the bird species whose songs will feature on the album and also helped identify conservation projects that will benefit from the profits.
This talk will include an update on the safeguarding and management of land in the Taita Hills and Dakatcha Woodland IBAs, undertaken with grant support from African Bird Club, working alongside the World Land Trust and the RSPB.
The talk will take place on Wednesday 1 September 2021 starting at 3pm GMT (which is 4pm British Summertime, 5pm Central African/European time and 6pm EAT). Please check your local time.
