The Organisation

As Australia’s only national bird conservation charity, we are on a mission to put birds and nature on

the path to recovery within a decade, leading and facilitating action that halts biodiversity loss and

restores ecosystems. We can only achieve this with the help and support afforded to us by our diverse stakeholders including supporters, campaigners, donors, members, and like-minded conservation

organisations.

BirdLife Australia takes a science and evidence-based approach to bird conservation. Where strong

conservation plans are in place and well-resourced the evidence tells us that threatened species can

be brought back from the brink of extinction. With a 100-plus year history and Australia’s strongest

and longest-lived collection of data and surveys, BirdLife Australia brings a wealth of observation

and experience to the protection of native birds.

BirdLife Australia is a diverse organisation with more than 330,000 supporters, donors, volunteers,

campaigners, and members, over 130 staff across Australia, and a network of more than 40 voluntary

community groups.

A significant part of BirdLife Australia’s work is done by volunteers acting either alone, in organised

groups or serving on Committees. It is significant that all staff understand and appreciate the

contribution made by volunteers, and are also mindful of their varying skills, interests and

motivations.

BirdLife Australia acknowledges the important role First Nations People throughout Australia have

played, and continue to play, caring for Country. We acknowledge their continuing connection to

land, sea and community and pay respect to Traditional Owners and their cultures, and to their Elders





both past and present. BirdLife Australia endeavours to facilitate the further engagement of

Indigenous Australians in the research and conservation of our native birds.
