Birdata is BirdLife Australia's online Bird Monitoring Platform. It incorporates BirdLife Australia's nationwide survey and BirdLife programs such as Birds in Backyards, Birds on Farms, Aussie Bird Count, as well as targeted threatened species surveys. Australia’s largest and longest-running wildlife database, Birdata’s impact on conservation in our country is hard to over-estimate. Even more importantly, with thousands of citizen scientists contributing to it every year, it is a live and growing dataset. Birdata is not just a database, but also a simple and fun survey tool for citizen scientists, targeted at collecting the data we need to save our most threatened species and keep all of Australia alive with our beautiful common birds. In practice this means Birdata has been used to: - Elevate the conservation status of the Plains-wanderer, Australasian Bittern, Eastern Curlew and Australian Painted Snipe (among other species) in recent years. - Inform the comprehensive Action Plan for Australia’s Birds. - Inform the declaration of over 300 Key Biodiversity Areas. - Direct private and government protected area networks. - Sound the alarm bell for declining species like the Mallee Striated Grasswren. - Influence local fire management. - Inform government and NGO conservation actions. Please note that Birdlife data is available under a non-commercial license and consultants should contact BirdLife directly to arrange access to full resolution records for commercial purposes. You can submit information to this important environmental database by conducting a survey in the Birdata app or on our website: https://birdata.birdlife.org.au/home
