Protect White-shouldered ibis (Pseudibis davisoni) nests by applying three different methods to compare the effectiveness of the nest protection protocol. One-third of the nests found will be protected by employed nest guardians with regular nest progressing records, another one-third will be left as control with regular monitoring by ibis rangers, and another one-third will be encircled by plastic baffles to protect ibis chicks from their predators. A White-shouldered ibis roost count will be conducted during the wet season to keep the status of the overall population of the species updated.
Strategic Direction : 2 Develop innovative, locally led approaches to site-based conservation at 28 key biodiversity areas
