About BirdLife International

In nature, nothing exists alone.

Fallen leaves feed the soil, the forest filters water and birds scatter seeds, spreading new life.

Every living thing — including us — depends on each other. But people are breaking these delicate systems.

Species and habitats are under attack.

Our planet is in crisis.

As our name suggests, birds are our compass. The health of birds reveals the health of our world — they show us where nature needs us most urgently.

From pole to pole, over forests, wetlands, mountains and seas, and across the migration paths of the world, birds know no borders. And neither do we.

Connecting countries, continents and cultures, we pull together to conserve and restore species and habitats.

We use our shared evidence to influence people, businesses and governments to change how society views and values nature.

And we unite as a chorus. Together, we give one voice to nature, creating change greater than the sum of our parts so birds and all life can thrive.

We are the only global partnership united to conserve all nature on our planet. We’ve achieved so much together over the last century, but right now, our world has never needed us more.

In nature, nothing exists alone.
