The design of your project depends on three things:

  1. The goal you want to achieve
  2. The resources you have available (time, budget, infrastructure)
  3.  The skills you and your team can provide for:
  • Project planning and coordination
  • Counting and identifying birds in the field
  • Processing, reporting and communicating the results

Don’t have all the resources or skills necessary? But still want to participate in a project?

  • Other parties may be able to help by providing complementary skills or resources.
  • Establish a partnership with other groups or organisations to work towards a shared goal.
  • Explore whether you can contribute to an existing bird project in your area.
