AAS is currently raising funds for a time-sensitive project. We aim to purchase binoculars to donate to underprivileged students and guides in Malaysia during Dr. Kannan's upcoming Fulbright Scholar program (July through September 2024). This initiative is not just about promoting citizen science ventures via eBird and iNaturalist but also about empowering local communities to document their rich biodiversity. As you may be aware, most of the eBird and iNaturalist data come from the developed world. Encouraging uploads from local people from species-rich tropical nations to use these apps and contribute to the global biodiversity database is crucial. The deadline for donating is May 4. Or if you have a spare pair of bins, bring them to the Spring AAS meeting at Petit Jean.
Be sure to mark the “Targeted Projects” box in the lower right-hand corner of the donation page.
Checks can be sent to the Arkansas Audubon Society, P. O. Box 241421, Little Rock, AR. 72223. Put “binoculars” on the memo line, or AAS Treasurer Stephanie Sexton will not know what the donation is for.
Thanks for your help!
