  LEAFA Takes the Next Step: Receiving Audio Equipment and Pilot Deployment

  After months of anticipation and finally overcoming a few logistical challenges, our participants have finally received the acoustic devices they were promised, marking a significant milestone in the journey of the program. Each participant received 3 Audiomoths throughout their research study. When they received their devices, the excitement was palpable and they eagerly unboxed and inspected the equipment that will play a crucial role in their upcoming fieldwork. For many, this is more than just a tool—it’s the key to advancing their research and conservation efforts of migratory birds in the East Asian-Australian Flyway (EAAF).

  

  Celebrating the World Migratory Bird Day in the East Asian Flyway.

  World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual event that celebrates and promotes migratory birds through awareness-raising campaigns highlighting their conservation needs. This event is celebrated globally through various public activities such as bird festivals, educational programs, exhibitions, and bird watching excursions. Due to different peak migration times among countries and regions, WMBD is celebrated twice a year: on the second Saturday in May and in October.
