Andrew Gosler
Supernumerary Fellow in Human Sciences Andrew has just secured a £600,000 grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to establish EWA – the Ethnoornithology World Archive. The EWA is an interdisciplinary collaborative project linking the University of Oxford’s Department of Zoology, School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, BirdLife International, the Endangered Languages Project (ELAR) at SOAS, and Lynx Edicions, Barcelona. It will be a free-access, global database of culturally-relevant data relating to birds. Its formation will involve the development of grass-root networks of conservationists and local communities empowering people to engage in bird conservation in a culturallyrelevant way. EWA will facilitate the use of Local and Traditional Ecological Knowledge in conservation research and practice, promote research in ethno-ornithology, and act as an innovative public-facing web-based access to the data.
