[Video] Point-count census (STOC) in Martinique

Point-count censusing (STOC, Suivi temporel des oiseaux communs) has been a particularly useful tool for tracking changes in bird populations in Europe. But, up to now, it has not been used in the French overseas territories. But as part of the Life+ Cap DOM scheme, it has now been adopted in French Guiana, La Réunion and Martinique. You can now watch Christelle Béranger getting the census underway in Martinique, and assessing the results of the week’s training course on how to recognise and track the common birds of the area.
