Help Me Share a Community Conservation Story at the International Ornithological Congress

Hello, my name is Diana Flora Padrón Novoa, I am a venezuelan ornithologist and researcher passionate about birds, habitat restoration, and the power of communities to create positive environmental change.

I am incredibly grateful to share that my research project, “Community-Led Riparian Restoration Enhances Urban Bird Communities and Black Swan Breeding in Southeastern Australia,” has been accepted for an oral presentation at the 29th International Ornithological Congress, taking place in Mérida, Mexico, from 30 November to 5 December 2026.

In 2018, our community participated in the “Let’s Plant One Tree Per Child” program, planting more than 500 trees along a local riparian environment in Shepparton, Australia. Children were actively involved in planting the trees, turning conservation into a hands-on community experience.

Over the years, these small actions have helped improve habitat for wildlife, support bird communities, contribute to Black Swan breeding, and transform a public space into a healthier environment for both people and nature.

Thank you for supporting my journey and for helping this community conservation story reach a global audience.

Our citizen science project kicks off this weekend, with a team of volunteers heading out on Sunday to monitor bird species at one of our sites in Longwood East. This important work with help us understand how different species have survived the fire.

We're currently setting up a number of monitoring sites across the bushfire region, and you can be involved! All it takes is a basic knowledge of local birds, and 20 minutes of your time.

Sign up as a Bushfire Recovery Alliance volunteer on our website to stay in the loop.
