BirdLife Australia

BirdLife Australia’s mission is to save birds.

For over 120 years, we’ve been at the forefront of bird conservation in Australia. Thanks to our science and our supporters, we’ve achieved some incredible outcomes for threatened birds – but now, we’re facing our greatest challenge yet: Australia’s extinction crisis.

We are dedicated to stopping bird extinctions and helping nature recover by:

Recovery actions

BirdLife Australia’s scientists and researchers help us identify and better understand and protect threatened birds across the country. As the national authority on bird conservation, BirdLife Australia champions species conservation and a long-term future for all Australian native birds. We are dedicated to preventing human-driven extinction of threatened birds, improve their conservation status and halt overall bird species population declines.

Building partnerships

When it comes to conservation, collaboration is key – we can’t tackle the extinction crisis alone. That’s why BirdLife Australia is partnering with leading experts and organisations, communities and landholders to save birds and nature for the benefit of us all.

Education

Australia is a world leader in deforestation, and habitat loss and destruction is driving our extinction crisis. But we can change this. We run bird and bird conservation workshops in schools and communities, host webinars and conferences, produce award-winning publications and more – so that you have all the tools and knowledge you need to help birds.

Your entry fees to our Photography Awards competition help support our bird conservation work around the country.
