Our Senior Research Fellow Dr Kate Brandis (2nd from left) and PostDoc researcher Roxane Francis (centre) had the pleasure of meeting @CEWH Dr Simon Banks (2nd from right) and showcasing our #waterbird monitoring on the ground at #NarranLakes last week @unswbees @UNSWScience
It was so great to visit the beautiful Narran Lakes (Dharriwaa) last week and observe the flourishing bird life! 🌱🐣 To help maintain #Waterbird breeding conditions, water is currently flowing through the internationally important wetlands. 🔗 https://t.co/kGafhmx8Q4

Ecologist Prof. Richard Kingsford from @CES_UNSW @unswbees will lead the monitoring of the health of the Royal National Park as part of a NSW Gov’t ‘scorecard’ program, to “track how the things we care about are doing”.
smh.com.au
For the first time, the state’s national parks will have their health monitored in a way that the public can also check, starting with the Royal and Kosciuszko parks.
