The object and purpose of this Society shall be the promotion of the study of birds, the advancement and diffusion of ornithological knowledge, and the conservation of birds and their environment



Birds are beautiful, inspirational and international. Birds are excellent

flagships and vital environmental indicators.



By focusing on birds, and the sites and habitats on which they depend, the

BirdLife Partnership is working to improve the quality of life for birds,

for other wildlife (biodiversity), and for people.



BirdLife's aims are to:

* prevent the extinction of any bird species

* maintain and where possible improve the conservation status of all

bird species

* conserve and where appropriate improve and enlarge sites and habitats

important for birds

* help, through birds, to conserve biodiversity and to improve the

quality of people's lives

* integrate bird conservation into sustaining people's livelihoods.



BirdLife aims to achieve its conservation goals through conservation

science, action on the ground, advocating change, developing capacity and

building awareness.
