Our partnership with BirdLife International
BirdLife International is a global partnership of national conservation organisations that share common objectives and work together in advocating and carrying out priority conservation actions.
BirdLife is the leading authority on the status of the world’s birds and issues and problems affecting them. The RSPB is the UK Partner of BirdLife and supports both the BirdLife Secretariat, which co-ordinates the work of the partnership, and individual partner organisations around the world.
Working within BirdLife is fundamental to our international strategy and our contribution is important to the success of the BirdLife partnership. The RSPB carries out all its international work as part of the BirdLife International partnership. It is the BirdLife partner in the UK and the largest organisation in the partnership. We are strongly committed to the principle of mutual assistance and co-operation that underpins BirdLife and we work with, and in support of, local partners in all our international efforts.
We support BirdLife partners with regular, predictable financial contributions, complemented by expert advice and technical assistance. We seek to help partners to undertake conservation work and grow to become stronger, fully independent organisations.
We cannot work everywhere and therefore focus our efforts on working with Partners in Europe, Africa, Asia and the UK Overseas Territories, supporting them to take practical conservation action, public awareness, education and advocacy.
BirdLife International held its four-yearly conference in Buenos Aires in September 2008. The combination of professionalism and passion evident amongst bird conservationists from over 120 countries was truly inspirational.
