Understorey: Shorebirds at Peel-Yalgorup Wetlands

The Peel-Yalgorup System Ramsar site is the most important area for waterbirds in south-western Australia, a great draw for bird enthusiasts and nature conservationists seeking refuge from urban overload. Dr Vicky Stokes, WA’s Program Manager with BirdLife Australia, outlines our shorebirds’ remarkable qualities and requirements, including international visitors who can travel to the moon and back in equivalent lifetime journeys between here and the Arctic. Brave birds with simple needs. Protecting their habitats means seeing and recognising them first.

Vicky Stokes was participating at the recent 2021 Wetlands Conference.
