Fellow João Guilherme is participating in the ongoing 15th Pan-African Ornithological Congress, were he has given not one but two talks: Using tracking data to identify areas of importance for the conservation of African-Eurasian migratory landbirds, raptors and storks, and International cooperation links revealed by migratory landbirds and raptors tracked along the African-Eurasian flyway.
The Pan-African Ornithological Congress takes place every 4 years with the aims of furthering the study of African birds, promoting the preservation of African birds as an integral part of the African Heritage, fostering the appreciation of birds and discussion of African birds in relation to man and disseminating information on African birds through international meetings and publications.
The 15th Pan-African Ornithological Congress is taking place from 21-25 November 2022 at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, hosted by BirdLife Zimbabwe. It brings together more than 275 delegates from 55 nations, including 33 African countries. João’s presentations of his PhD results were part of a session on Integrating science, policy and development to address unsustainable land use linked to African-Eurasian migrant landbird declines.
Victoria Falls is an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) within the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) which comprises Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, Angola and Namibia.
