Nearly 60,000 outstanding Canadians volunteer as Citizen Scientists for one or more of Birds Canada’s programs, keeping an eye on the health of bird populations.
We believe the most effective conservation results arise from a multifaceted approach which addresses the needs of habitats, people, and species.
Thanks to the support of our caring members, donors, volunteers, and conservation partners, we are driving conservation results for birds throughout Canada and beyond. Read on to discover some of the ways our supporters are making a positive impact for birds.
volunteers and partners are actively protecting and stewarding approximately 130 Chimney Swift roost and nest sites that support around 10,000 swifts – between 15% and 50% of the estimated Canadian population. Our volunteer and partner network is also monitoring more than 1000 other Chimney Swift roost and nest sites from Manitoba to Nova Scotia.
