Protect Migratory Birds - Act Now To Save Them
This Poaching Season Be their Lifeline
Will you give migratory birds a fighting chance?
Migratory birds connect continents and culture, epitomising our own interconnectedness across the globe.
But their future is at risk.
Your generosity can ensure their incredible journey continues for generations.
Migratory Birds Are in Grave Danger
Every winter, species like larks, pipits, waterfowl, and waders face a cruel large-scale trade in bird meat.
In this season alone, 1.5 lakh migratory birds risk being killed in Bengal’s poaching nets — help save them now before they migrate!
Shrinking habitats and climate change aren’t their only enemies. In the wetlands and croplands of West Bengal’s Gangetic floodplains, illegal poaching turns these vital ecosystems into deadly traps.
We cannot let these wonders of nature disappear

Join Our Fight to Save Migratory Birds
At HEAL, we are waging a battle to protect migratory birds with a holistic, three-step approach
Strengthening Protection Around Bird Habitats
- Deploying anti-poaching squads to patrol vulnerable areas
- Removing deadly nets and traps
- Rescuing and rehabilitating ensnared birds
- Intercepting poaching attempts
- The more people patrolling the ground, the more number of birds saved!
In the 2025 poaching season, we rescued over 600 migratory birds, removed 55 km of illegal mist nets, prevented thousands from being trapped and sold for meat, facilitated 9 arrests, and conducted awareness drive in 21 villages across key poaching hotspots.
Facilitating Enforcement Actions Against Poachers
- Gathering intelligence to expose poaching networks
- Supporting authorities in making arrests and dismantling illegal operation
Turning Communities Into Stewards of Migratory Birds
- Conducting awareness programs in local villages
- Setting up anti-poaching hotlines for timely intervention
- Building pride in local communities for protecting migratory species

Through patrols, intelligence gathering, and joint enforcement actions, the initiative has removed extensive trapping nets, rescued thousands of birds, and helped arrest habitual poachers. Awareness drives and community engagement are also encouraging local residents to report illegal activities and support migratory bird conservation.
