Hi Birding-Aus folk, this is slightly off-topic but birds will probably be the most photographed animals resulting from this project, so here goes…..
The TCA and Deakin Uni are sourcing funding to undertake two trips to set up cameras in this remote part of PNG to survey fauna in this area. The TCA won a Whiteley Award for their conservation measures, incorporating education of the local indigenous tribes. I have attached the You-tube link with Sir David Attenborough’s commentary on the area and project.
There is only 6 days left to achieve their funding goal of $20000 and still need about $7k, so here is the link for anyone who would like to donate to this research. Donations of $2 and over are tax deductible. There are also rewards for all who donate.

The FNCV hosted a presentation on this project last week and being a lover of all animals, I just wanted to volunteer!!!!
If you have any questions or find it difficult to donate through Pozible.com, I have cc’ed Euan Ritchie ( Lecturer at Deakin) into this email, so you can correspond with him directly.
