BirdLife WA Guide to Citizen Advocacy
All native vegetation is habitat for birds. When it goes, so does WA’s birdlife. Developed for Western Australia, this guide outlines the ways you can participate in the native habitat clearing assessment processes and help influence decisions. This guide is tailored towards decisions made at the state and federal level.
