Asia

The BirdLife Asia Partnership currently consists of 14 national grassroots conservation NGOs. Together we are working to conserve birds and their habitats across the world’s largest continent.

Latest news from Asia

By understanding the culture and traditions of Mongolia, conservationists have developed targeted outreach in the hopes of saving one of the rarest birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

Mikkel Larsen

Today, we recognise the extraordinary efforts of a true advocate for our planet, Mikkel Larsen, who tragically passed away last week.

When it comes to protecting forests, community involvement is better than punishment. Thanks to two BirdLife projects, local people in Indonesia and the Philippines are reaping the benefits of managing and protecting their own natural resources.

Our work in Asia

Global Birdfair is back! The world’s largest annual celebration of birds, generating huge support for bird conservation, will be taking place at Rutland Water, UK, from the 11th – 13th July 2025.

Hope you joined the flock at the 2023 Global Birdfair! Hosted at the Rutland Showground, UK, from the 14-16 July, this years event brought together an array of people from the wildlife conservation community. From world-leading conservationists and adventurers to ground-breaking wildlife filmmakers and authors, the event is not to be missed for anyone with a love of the natural world! So if you missed it, plan on next year!

Giving the next generation of conservationists an effective voice is vital in the fight to save the planet, and their opinions, influence and role are being fully embraced by BirdLife through the creation of a new youth programme
