Presenters Lauren Hook and Erna Llenore To raise the conservation profile of threatened Glossy black- cockatoos (GBC), the Saving our Species, Glossies in the Mist project provided identification training to the Southern Highlands community and invited citizen scientists to submit sightings of GBCs. Glossies in the Mist (GITM) teamed up with community champions to co-create a photo identification project focusing on cataloguing individual female GBCs using their plumage patterns. This data examines species dynamics and distribution whilst providing an interesting way for the broader community to get involved with GBC conservation.
