BirdWatch Ireland is focussed on the conservation of birds and biodiversity in Ireland. We aim to target our resources effectively so that we can promote nature conservation among policy-makers and the wider public. Our principal objectives include:
- Species & habitat conservation
- Research and monitoring
- Promoting birds and biodiversity among the wider public
- Reserve management
- Policy & Advocacy
Many of our conservation projects are carried out in collaboration with other institutes and organisations, including Government departments and semi-state bodies, other research bodies, non-governmental organisations and other bird organisations.
BirdWatch Ireland is involved in many research and monitoring projects. These include ongoing and long-term monitoring projects that aim to track how populations of Ireland’s birds are faring over time
Some surveys are annual and require additional help from volunteer members of the public
