Our Focus

BirdWatch Zambia has representation on the National Steering Committee for Biodiversity, playing a crucial role in the domestication of the Global Biodiversity Framework.

To halt the decline of flagship bird species and reduce human induced threats to birds while increasing benefits to communities through avi-toursim and other nature-based livelihood opportunities.

To conserve, protect and restore degraded habitats thereby enhancing biodiversity and preventing species extinction while optimising benefits derived by communities from the restored landscapes.

To address the major systemic drivers of the biodiversity and climate change crises and promote a nature friendly and carbon-neutral world.

Mobilise and engage people to support conservation and contribute to a just, equitable, rights-based society where nature is fundamental to our wellbeing.
