About  [Edit]

BirdLife Malta`s mission is the protection of wild birds and their habitat.



BirdLife Malta monitors activity that threatens wild birds, particularly hunting and trapping. Through BirdLife Malta¹s sustained action over the years, hunting today is no longer taken for granted.



BirdLife Malta is the biggest nature organisation in the country, currently with over 3000 members. It organises activities for members and publishes the bimonthly BirdTalk, and Bird`s Eye View, the Society`s annual review.



BirdLife Malta is also the oldest environmental organisation in Malta. It was founded in 1962 as MOS (Malta Ornithological Society) and was the first to act in defence of the natural environment.



BirdLife Malta co-ordinates a research group to carry out bird studies in Malta. The group runs an active bird-ringing scheme, and publishes ornithological material in its scientific bulettin Il-Merill.



BirdLife Malta was behind the creation of Ghadira and Is-Simar nature reserves. Dedication, foresight and hard work by volunteers have revitalised the two rare wetland habitats into enclaves of Maltese wildlife, which includes new breeding birds such as Little Ringed Plover and Little Bittern. Today, with government backing, BirdLife Malta manages the two sites for wildlife and environmental education, and is embarking on new land-for-nature projects.



BirdLife Malta incorporates Klabb Huttaf, its junior section. The club has its own activities and publishes a popular bimonthly magazine Il-Huttafa.



BirdLife Malta runs various educational projects in schools to keep nature high on teachers` and students` agendas. Projects range from printing of infosheets for free distribution, to full-scale year-long campaigns such as the popular Dinja Wahda Awards.



BirdLife Malta keeps a healthy presence in media outlets, and often gives illustrated talks to various groups and institutions. The Society also has its own, award-winning website.



BirdLife Malta co-ordinates action and strategy with other Partners of BirdLife International for more effective nature conservation.
