Indigenous groups from Australia, specifically the Wudjari Noongar peoples, and Alaska, including the Yup'ik, are joining forces to track the migration of short-tailed shearwaters, known as yowli. These birds, once abundant along Australia's south-west coast, have shown alarming declines, with many found sick or emaciated due to environmental changes and pollution. The project, led by the Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation, integrates ecological research with traditional knowledge to monitor the birds' migration patterns and the challenges they face. The shearwaters, which travel approximately 15,000 km between breeding grounds in Australia and feeding areas in Alaska, are vital indicators of ecosystem health. The collaboration emphasizes the shared responsibility of Indigenous peoples to care for their environment and the importance of cross-cultural partnerships in conservation efforts. As climate change continues to impact migratory patterns and food sources, the project aims to gather critical data to protect these birds and their habitats.
