Tasmanian Masked Owl Fundraiser-Australian Geographic Society

The Australian Geographic Society has kindly offered to host a 3 month fundraising program within their stores to help raise money to support my research into this threatened species. My project, which is being carried out through the School of Zoology, University of Tasmania, is partly funded by DPIW and the CRC for Forestry but needs more support if it is to be successful in solving some of the riddles that surround this most mysterious bird.

More information on the project is at Tasmanian Masked Owl Project. More information on the Australian Geographic Society, School of Zoology, UTAS, and CRC for Forestry- click on the links. At any AG Store you will be able to buy an owl sticker or make a donation, alternatively send a cheque or money order to the address on the AG fundraising webpage.
Please mark your envelope: "For the Masked Owl".
