Projects


Introduction
Introduction
Programme coversEvery year we choose an international conservation issue to support. The projects are suggested to us and managed through the BirdLife International partnership. The support from the Birdfair has enabled BirdLife to make some remarkable conservation achievements, including the creation of several new national parks. We've helped birds under real threat of extinction, from albatrosses to white-winged guans.

The 2008 Birdfair raised a record £265,000 to support BirdLife's work in saving critically endangered birds around the world. This takes the total raised, to date, to over £2,000,000! Such funds are raised in various ways, including sponsorship, exhibitors fees, merchandising, and fantastic volunteer help. Two-thirds of the money raised comes from visitors' entrance fees. As in all previous years, we guarantee that every penny of the £10 entrance fee goes to the BirdLife projects. Here are the details of just some of those projects, starting from 1992, all the way to present day.
