BirdLife International

Festive greetings and a heartfelt thank you! 🎄 This year, your support has helped us achieve incredible milestones for bird conservation worldwide. Together, we’re making a difference. ✨ Wishing you peace, joy, and happiness.

Did you know that berries, seeds, and fruits are nature's festive treats for birds? 🎄 Pyracantha berries are a vital food source for many bird species during the colder months. ❄️ Learn how these vibrant shrubs can help birds thrive during the winter in our latest article by HIH Princess Takamado: https://lnkd.in/eHsBWv_w #NatureLovers #BirdFriendlyGardens

Did you know you can help protect crucial Antarctic habitats? ❄️🧊 For the globally Endangered Grey-headed Albatross, and the Near Threatened Light-mantled Albatross, the Clarence Island Marine site along the Antarctic Peninsula is critical, especially during the post-guard breeding period. This is when parents forage for longer, and chicks have infrequent meals. 🐟 Birds congregate to feed at this Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) found in the Southern Ocean, protruding from both Elephant and Clarence Island.🗻 By tracking Grey-headed Albatrosses movements and range with satellite tags, the site was identified. 🏷️ A main threat to albatross and petrel species is being accidently caught in fishing gear of fisheries operating in the area (bycatch); therefore, this site needs to be protected.

Winter magic is in the air in the northern hemisphere! ✨ Remember to keep bird feeders stocked and water bowls unfrozen this festive period. ❄️ Let’s give back to nature this holiday! 💙 #WinterSolstice #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #WildlifeConservation #GiveBackToNature

2024: A year of hope for wildlife. 💚 From wetlands buzzing with life to coastlines where seabirds soar, this year has seen nature recover in incredible ways. These wins remind us of what’s possible when we take action, and they wouldn’t have been achieved without the support of our members, volunteers, and partners. Thank you. Here's a glimpse at just some of the successes from this year that give us hope for nature’s future. 👇 Read more about what 2024 achieved for nature here: https://brnw.ch/21wPyb6 #GoodNews

A milestone achieved! 🎉 The last day of our 12 Days of BirdLife celebrates the launch of the very first Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI) project at South Dongting Lake in Hunan Province of People’s Republic of China. 12,000 hectares of degraded wetland are to be restored in this important habitat for thousands of migratory birds.💧 The new project kicks off our East Asian Australian Regional Flyways (EAAF) Initiative, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the East Asian - Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP).🌏 Championing green development, protecting biodiversity and delivering numerous jobs is a win-win for birds, nature and people.🐦 Find out more here 👉https://lnkd.in/e7hKGyQf Thanks for following our 12 Days of BirdLife and for all your support this past year! #BirdLifeInternational #12DaysofBirdLife #BirdLifeGlobalFlyways #Habitats #MigratoryBirds

It's my last working day of 2024, so here are my reflections on the BirdLife International year. Despite an increasingly volatile external environment, we can be proud about what we have achieved. Here, I profile just three examples of the impact we have had with and through our Partners: Conserva Aves, our Global Flyways Programme and our Restore Nature campaign which resulted in the groundbreaking EU Nature Restoration Law. All of these involve a huge number of partners (both within and beyond the BirdLife network) and and it is a reminder that when like minded people and organisations work together they can achieve incredible things. I am excited about what we will achieve together in 2025.

Margaret Atwood: Championing Birds and Biodiversity ✨ While celebrated for her iconic novels, Margaret Atwood is equally passionate about bird conservation. As she reminds us, “We are not apart from nature; we are a part of it. If the biosphere fails, so do we.” A long-time supporter of BirdLife International, Margaret has championed causes like protecting the Critically Endangered Swift Parrot in Tasmania and co-leading BirdLife’s Rare Bird Club alongside her late husband, Graeme Gibson. Graeme’s legacy lives on through the Graeme Gibson Fellowship, which trains emerging conservation leaders. On December 17th, we celebrated Margaret’s love for birds at NYC’s Lotos Club with a fireside chat, book signing, and auction. Funds raised will support BirdLife International and Pelee Island Bird Observatory. Thank you, Margaret, for inspiring action to protect our planet! 🦜💚 Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dUS9X_yH #Conservation #Leadership #MargaretAtwood #BirdLifeInternational

The next generation of global conservationists! 🌍   Day 11 of our 12 Days of BirdLife celebrates the 13 award-winning teams of the 2024 Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP).🎊 The 13 locally-led projects are spread across 11 different countries around the world, from protecting Malabar Grey Hornbills in India to the Usambara Eagle-Owl in Tanzania.🦉 To support their work in protecting some of the world’s most threatened species and habitats, they have been granted funding and development guidance to strengthen their projects. 📜 Local knowledge and empowering the next generation of conservation leaders is vital to bolstering long-term conservation efforts. 💪   Stay tuned for our last 12 Days of BirdLife tomorrow! 📆🎉 Find out more here 👉https://lnkd.in/eNSZMEsW #BirdLifeInternational #12DaysofBirdLife #Conservation #Wildlife #Habitats  

Did you know you can help save crucial forest habitats?🌳 The globally important Golfo de los Mosquitos Forests in Panama is home to numerous species threatened with extinction. 🦜 This Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) contains more than 1,000 types of wildlife in the Donoso Protected Area, including Panama’s National Bird the Harpy Eagle, and the Critically Endangered Gemini’s Dart Frog that can only be found here. 🐦 Last year, we joined conservation organisations and Panama’s local and Indigenous communities in opposing an open pit mine bigger than Manhattan in this area, successfully ruling its operation unconstitutional. ⛏🌎📄 However, the most serious threat continues to be uncontrolled development. The remaining forest needs to be protected from any future resource extraction. 🌿 We cannot save these vital refuges alone.
