A very exciting adventure...
Hi all, sorry for the blogging silence but I have been sent to Madadgascar!!
A team of staff from WWT – along with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and The Peregrine Fund and the Government of Madagascar – have been working to reverse the fortunes of the Madagascar pochard. Last year the team travelled to Madagascar at the start of October on an emergency mission to collect eggs from the wild and to rear the ducklings in captivity. Since then the team has been establishing a major conservation project to breed birds, restore wetlands and ultimately reintroduce the pochard to wetlands in Madagascar.
I will be back in the UK on 5 March, ready for the Nene season and beyond. Thank you!
