The Great Cocky Count is on again!
BirdLife Australia is holding the 2012 Great Cocky Count (GGC), to count as many Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoos as possible on a single night across the South West from Geraldton to Esperance. This year, the GCC is happening on Sunday April 15.

Community Engagement
Each one of us has responsibility for looking after the environment if it's going support us in the future. Every one of us is a steward of the land.
That's the principle behind NACC's community engagement program, which aims to raise awareness across the whole community about environmental issues and sustainability.
NACC works to raise community awareness of sustainability issues through educating about the environment, climate change, farming systems and what individuals can do to help the environment.
See Community for more about how NACC engages with the community.
Community Engagement programs include:
The Greener Life
BIO Diverse Photographic Competition
Changing Environments State NRM Conference
Plastic Bag Blitz
NAR Community Engagement and Extension Program
Competitions
Education and Schools programs
The Green Office Challenge
On ground engagement programs
NACC works with individuals and groups who manage the natural assets of the land and coast - generally farmers. The Northern Agricultural Region is around 8 million hectares, of which 70 per cent is developed for agriculture.
Engaging farmers and land managers in sustainable practices is a large part of the work NACC does.
NACC field staff work hand in hand with land managers and the community to demonstrate and educate best practice and to help people adopt new ideas and methods of working.
Field days, seminars, workshops and one on one discussions are key elements of the NACC On Ground Community Engagement program.
