A Tale of Two Cockatoos: Baudin’s and Carnaby’s

Hi, I just want to let you know about a short animated film and webpage I’ve created about Baudin’s and Carnaby’s Cockatoos, called ‘A Tale of Two Cockatoos’ http://cockatoos.treehugger.com.au/ As part of my PhD studies, I have been investigating how Australian society values Baudin’s and Carnaby’s and have discovered why Carnaby’s is favoured over Baudin’s. This research was funded by The Nature Conservancy Applied Conservation Award 2011 and I wanted to use some of those funds to develop a communication strategy to raise public awareness of the plight of the two cockatoo species as well as help people find practical ways to get involved in conservation efforts. A Tale of Two Cockatoos is the result. The Nature Conservancy are promoting the film and webpage on their international science blog and Australian Facebook page. http://m.blog.nature.org/science/2013/07/12/endangered-species-value-baudins-carnabys/ I hope you enjoy the film and will consider distributing it to your networks and/or embedding the video on your website or social media page.
