Our Mission:
Protecting Ireland’s Wild Birds and Their Habitats

The primary objective of BirdWatch Ireland is the protection of wild birds and their habitats in Ireland through the efforts of our staff, members and volunteers alike. In order to fulfil this objective, we carry out extensive research and survey work, operate applied conservation projects and manage a network of reserves nationwide; we prepare and advocate policies; we recruit, retain and service a growing membership base; we promote the importance of this work through field education, dedicated media (such as Wings magazine, the BirdWatch Ireland website, our annual journal Irish Birds and other publications) and to the national media.

About Us

BirdWatch Ireland is the largest independent conservation organisation in Ireland. Established in 1968, we currently have over 14,000 members and supporters and a local network of over 20 branches nationwide.
