Wildlife Society officers get training in video technology

EIGHT officers from the Wildlife Conservation Society recently completed basic training in the use of video technology.
The training was held at the Nago Island Marine Research Station in New Ireland.
Established in Papua New Guinea in the 1970s, the society was the first conservation non-government organisation in the country.
Today, it works with the aim of empowering local communities to sustainably use and maintain healthy forests and seas.
The video training was made possible with funding from AusAID through its climate change adaptation programme and was conducted by SAVE PNG Inc, a locally-based NGO specialising in generating awareness on local issues.
With the effects of climate change expected to have possibly devastating impacts in different parts of PNG, the society is one organisation working with local communities to develop viable adaptation solutions.
To this end, the use of video technology will be a powerful and engaging medium to documenting changes and sharing ideas.
The Wildlife Conservation Society saves wildlife and environments by understanding critical issues, crafting science-based solutions and taking conservation actions that benefit nature and humanity.
