Fogg Dam is in the Adelaide River floodplain. The Important Bird Areas (IBA) program is an international non-governmental conservation scheme lead by BirdLife International Partners such as Birds Australia. IBAs are sites of international importance for bird conservation. They are small enough to be practical targets for conservation management but large enough to meet the global IBA criteria. The Australian IBA program is to help protect a network of sites critical for the conservation of Australia's birds by: promoting IBAs as a tool for biodiversity conservation planning encouraging government to prioritise conservation at IBAs (e.g. in grant-giving schemes) encouraging and facilitating local community-based groups and land-owners to manage land sustainably and conserve key bird species Birds Australia www.birdsaustralia.com.au/our-projects/iba-background.html News and Events - News Updates Tue, 01 Jun 2010 17:26:26 +0100 http://www.foggdamfriends.org/news-updates/fogg-dam-field-day-review.html Over 650 people visited the Fogg Dam Field Day on 11 April 2010 for family friendly day full of information and activities for all ages organised by the Friends of Fogg Dam Inc.
