A Science-led Approach to Bird Conservation

Science tells us where to focus our conservation efforts so we can protect the birds we love.

Why Birds Matter

Birds Canada exists to protect the birds we love, which allows us to protect all of nature. A world where birds are thriving in healthy habitats is a world where native flora and fauna are flourishing too – a world where people can see, feel, and experience the beauty of nature in balance.

By focusing on birds, we’re protecting what’s vital for the health of people and nature.
