This information to be used to identify key species and areas within the Protected Area, and to provide baseline information against which future changes in bird numbers and distribution (as the result of visitor and/or habitat management) can be assessed.

     ii)     as part of (i) to assess the importance of the site as a flyway for migrating raptors in spring.

    iii)     based on the above, to present suggestions for future management and monitoring for inclusion in the Management Plan for the Protected Area.

   iv)      to train Jordanian counterparts in bird identification and survey techniques to strengthen RSCN's capacity for carrying out future bird surveys at Wadi Rum and other sites in Jordan.
