The phase of knowledge-building about the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock comes to an end

PNG - 164.3 kb After two years of intensive fieldwork to improve our knowledge about the biology and ecology of the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock (the discovery of new breeding sites, the study of its food and habitat requirements, investigating its breeding behaviour, etc), the results have now been analysed.

A report giving all the results was completed in June 2013 and presents the initial recommendations that indicate the way that the requirements of the species can best be taken into account within the context of economic activities.

A big vote of thanks is due to the many volunteers from GEPOG who gave of their time to bring these studies to a successful conclusion, and also to the monitoring committee for their involvement in this programme since its launch!
