How to help

With the stakes so high, finding BirdLife Species Champions –companies, institutions and individuals- is imperative.
This is an enormous challenge though. The average cost of starting to turn around the fortunes of a Critically Endangered Species is more than £20,000 per year and requires sustained investment.
We are therefore asking all our BirdLife Species Champions to make a minimum three year commitment.
Despite the mounting threat to so many bird species across the planet you can make a difference today.
Join with us now so that together we can turn the tide on bird extinctions and give otherwise condemned species like Siberian Crane, Bengal Florican and Northern Bald Ibis a chance to avoid becoming just a distant memory for ourselves, unimaginable to our children.
