Protect Migratory Birds – Act Now to Save Them

This Poaching Season, Be Their Lifeline

Migratory birds connect continents and cultures, epitomising our own interconnectedness across the globe.

But their future is at risk.
Your generosity can ensure their incredible journeys continue for generations.

Will you give migratory birds a fighting chance?

Migratory Birds Are in Grave Danger

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.
Every winter, species like larks, pipits, waterfowl, and waders face a cruel large-scale trade in bird meat.
Over 150,000 migratory birds fall victim to poaching every year.

We cannot let these wonders of nature disappear
