Eleazar O’Connor, a graduate of the University of the South Pacific has joined NFMV as our Fiji Petrel Project Officer.
NFMV has recruited a Fiji Petrel Project Officer to work on Gau Island. Eleazar O’Connor, whose family is from Kadavu, is a graduate of the University of the South Pacific.
He will work with Amania Taukei, the National Trust/NFMV Warden on Gau to help implement the Fiji Petrel Project. With funding from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund enabling us to undertake a series of ‘chumming’ expeditions as well as hosting two ‘petrel-finding’ dogs from New Zealand, there is a lot to be done this year and next.
In addition, community awareness – caring for and releasing landed petrels, and Collared Petrel colony conservation work funded by the Disney Wildlife Fund means he is going to be very active.
Welcome, Eleazar O’Connor.
