Data is used for monitoring threatened birds, for research purposes, to inform planning and development in Canberra, and for habitat restoration projects. Alison Russell-French, President of Canberra Ornithologists Group said “COG has made an important contribution over the past half-century in the growth of a sustainable and environmentally sensitive city.”” Thanks are due to the committee members who prepared the application, and all COG members who contribute to the work of the Group.
