Field practical training on ornithology was offered through the Department of Ecosystems and Conservation<\/a> under the CONTAN project<\/a>. The purpose of the training was to introduce the students to the basic concepts of 0rnithology, enhance skills in common bird identification by sight and sound on the field, and conduct hands-on training on methods of field collection techniques and data recording. By the end of the field practical, students will be able to use basic identification guides and binoculars with some confidence and identify some of the commoner\u202fbird species in the field.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alfan Rija<\/a> from the Department of Wildlife Management of the Sokoine University of Agriculture offered the training in Kilimanjaro National Park (Scientific Station Nkweseko<\/a>).<\/p>\n
