Our programs

Over the past decade, our conservation programs have more than doubled their impact. Our team of experts works with communities and partners to drive the recovery of threatened species and restore their habitats around Australia.

Beach-nesting Birds

Five Australian shorebirds, and many species of seabirds, rely on coastal habitats for nesting. Loss of coastal habitats and recreational pressures are taking a devastating toll.

Birdata

To save birds, we need reliable data. Birdata is where we collect, keep and share this information. Compiled almost entirely by citizen scientists, Birdata is Australia's largest and longest running database for birds, with more than 22 million records (and counting).

Birds on Farms

Birds on Farms assists rural landholders to identify, appreciate and manage birds and their habitats on their properties.

View program

Bushfire recovery

The 2019–20 bushfire season, known as ‘Black Summer’, was catastrophic for Australian birds and their habitats. BirdLife Australia’s Bushfire Recovery Program aims to improve conservation outcomes for birds most imperiled by the fires.

Emergency Interventions

BirdLife Australia's emergency interventions program is taking action to prevent the extinction of Australia's most threatened birds, some of which have 'slipped through the cracks' until now.

View program

Key Biodiversity Areas

Our planet is facing mass extinction and needs our help. We have partnered with other global conservation organisations to protect our most important places for nature. These places are called Key Biodiversity Areas.

View program

Migratory Shorebirds

Australia's migratory shorebirds are incredible, many flying to and from the Northern Hemisphere every year. But sadly, because of the destruction of their habitats, hunting, and disturbance, their numbers have declined greatly.

View program

Urban Birds

Urban sprawl has a huge impact on native birds. BirdLife Australia's Urban Bird Program protects birds and their habitats across our rapidly changing and expanding cities.

View program

Wetland Birds

This program focuses on the conservation of wetland and waterways and the birds they support.

View program

Woodland Birds

Woodland bird populations are declining rapidly, with more than 40 species at risk of extinction. The Woodland Birds Program aims to stop and reverse this trend before it's too late.
