Subject: RE: 2013 Okavango Wetland Bird Survey on 50/50

Hi All,

For those who missed it, here is the 50/50 insert on the 2013 Okavango Wetland Bird Survey: http://youtu.be/sM2Vd7ouMq0 

This is the third insert on this important long-term research project and explains how and why we undertake these annual research transects across the Okavango Delta.

Please share this link with your friends and colleagues in support of the vote in June to have the Okavango Delta listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yours in bird conservation,
Steve
