Why Birds Matter
Birds Canada exists to protect the birds we love, which allows us to protect all of nature. A world where birds are thriving in healthy habitats is a world where native flora and fauna are flourishing too – a world where people can see, feel, and experience the beauty of nature in balance.
By focusing on birds, we’re protecting what’s vital for the health of people and nature.
Birds Canada is protecting the birds we love by engaging people through science. Together with volunteers, donors, and collaborators across the country, we’re working toward a future where all bird species will thrive in healthy habitats.
