| Summary |
The research techniques of banding and colour-marking continue to play an important role in extending our knowledge of the bird and bat fauna of Australia. The ABBBS supported 1120 authorised banders during 1996-97, about half of whom are volunteers, and their banding studies continue to produce data which is essential for the conservation of Australian wildlife. At the end of the period covered by this report, the ABBBS had 478 banding projects registered, while some 1102 species have been studied in locations throughout continental Australia, its territories and into the South Pacific. This report provides an overview of the diverse and concentrated research, which is currently being undertaken in Australia using techniques, involving banding and marking. It summarises bird and bat banding activity in Australia during the 1996-97 banding year |
